I have a Lenovo X1 Carbon with an external screen connected to a Mini DP to VGA
adapter. External screen works fine until the display goes to sleep for
inactivity (just the display goes to sleep, not the laptop).
When I return to the laptop, the built in screen wakes but the external screen
does not. The screen is still detected, xrandr displays the resolution and I
can move the cursor to the external display but the display remains off.
I have tried cycling with Fn+F7 and also tried Ctrl+Alt+F1 then Ctrl+Alt+F7.
The only way to get the external display back on is by disconnecting the
adapter from the laptops DP port and reconnecting.
