Description: Ubuntu 16.04.1 LTS
Release: 16.04
I'm using an external monitor attached via VGA (seen as DP2 in xrandr output)
in an extended desktop configuration (not cloned). Whenever the X session
starts some kind of screen saving (for example, after locking the screen), the
external monitor and the laptop screen both go to a saving power state.
After that, If I try to wake them up (moving cursor, touch keys, etc.),
only the laptop's panel goes back. The external monitor stays in a
suspended state. If I force it to wake up and scan inputs, it doesn't
find any, and it doesn't appear as conencted in xrandr otput.
The only way I've found to wake it up is by performing the following
sequence of operations:
ALT+F1 [switch to first tty/console] --> this does wake up and activate the
monitor, mirroring
login as my user
$ xrandr -d :0 #DP2 still doesn't appear
logout
ALT+F7 [go back to X]
At this point, the external monitor is working and X detects it and re-
enables the extended desktop
Doing just ALT+F1/ALT+F7, doesn't work (I need to execute xrandr in
order to make the whole thing work)
Doing xrandr from the graphical environment (directly in a xterminal in
the Xsession) doesn't wake up the monitor
Looks like there's no need to add any addictional operation/parameter to
xrandr in order to make this process work, no need to set output
settings, etc. Just issue "xrandr -d :0" and things magically work
Thanks in advance
