Public bug reported: Since months I turn the monitor, 2560x1440, that is connected via DP, off when I leave work and turn it on when back next day and I always saw my desktop again. After the reboot due to 2.6.38-13-generic installation last week and then following reboot, I get no DisplayPort signal anymore when the monitor is turned off and on again.
We can reproduce this bug on second 'identical' system Dell OptiPlex 780 with Intel GFX running natty + Monitor via DP. Unsucessful tries: * ALT-CTRL-F1 then ALT-CTRL-F7 did not help. Still no DP Signal. * boot into rescue mode (so no X11). Still no DP signal when I turn the monitor off/on. * boot outdated 2.6.38-12-generic (normal and rescue) that showed no problem before and still no DP signal after monitor off/on. Working (but very inconvenient) workarounds to get a DP signal again after monitor off/on: * remote login and xrandr --output DP1 --off; sleep 1; xrandr --output DP1 --auto or * connecting a second monitor via VGA, this also turns the DP signal back to on. (turn VGA monitor off/on is not enough. One has to unplug and connect VGA again to get the DP signal again) Note: VGA signal is not affected. I can turn the VGA monitor off/on and VGA Signal is always there. Only DP receive no signal after off/on.
