That sucks. I have had really weird issues with various rigs, last the DP to HDMI adapters I use on my main setup, that are somewhat randomly stopping working upon wakeup to only allow base resolution, but exacerbate further with certain DE's quickly (ahem, kde), and other wise happens across all o
