Hi Ben,
I do have the same issue and though I was neither able to find a root
cause or even some helpful logs, this is the workaround that doesn't
bother me too much:
The power save features are all turned off, the monitor does not blank
or turn off at all, and as soon as I want to lock the screen, I pull the
power plug of the monitor after locking it.
When I want to continue to work, I press CTRL and enter the password,
then plug the power of the monitor back in. And then I'm back at the
desktop...
Sounds a bit complicated, but as written, I am not even sure where the
issue happens and I suspect the monitor behaving badly as I did not have
that kind of issue in the past.
Hope this helps and kind regards,
telsh

Hello, misc;
I've been having an issue with my OpenBSD install, specifically when the system
turns off the monitor after a period of no use. After the monitor goes blank I
can't use the start using the machine and must restart, that is after keypress
and mouse movement the system does not show anything on the monitor. I suspect
something is wrong due to hardware. I've checked the logs, nothing seems to be
off. I've turned off apmd as to not interfer with power management and still no
response after the monitor goes to sleep.
Here's a list of the hardware:
- AMD Ryzen 5 3400G Processor
- Asus Prime B550M-A/CSM Motherboard
- Radeon RX 580 POLARIS10 GPU
Has anyone else experience any issues with like this? Is there still no support
for polaris GPUs? Thank you in advance.
