[ale] nVidia chop suey

[James P. Kinney III]

I'm not so sure that is a software problem. If I turn off (power down)
my monitor, it comes back up weird until the circuits warm up (about 10
minutes). It may be that the M$ power management is not really putting
the monitor in off, just deep sleep with circuit warming abilities.

Change monitors and test.
