Public bug reported:
I have two monitors: one connected via VGA, and one connected via
DisplayPort. When the X server starts, there is a signal on both
monitors. But when the monitor on DisplayPort is switched off, then back
on, the monitor no longer detects signal. However, the monitor is
detected: dm and GNOME react to the new monitor and it appears in xrandr
output.
The signal comes back after restarting the X server. This makes me think
it is a software problem, or at least it could be solved in software.
