[Bug 1372409] Re: The monitor won't wake up after going to sleep (initiated by locking, automatic or manual)

 

** Description changed:

  I am using the 3.16.3 kernel and Mesa/drivers/Xorg from the Oibaf PPA -
  but this also happens when using drivers from the regular repositories.
  
  I would say that this bug is SEVERE, because you can lose important
  work.
  
  Steps to reproduce:
  
  1. Lock computer (Ctrl+Alt+L) or let it lock itself automatically
  2. Wait a few seconds for the monitor to shut down (LED blue->yellow and displayed warning)
  3. Try to wake it up
  
  Expected behavior: the monitor is woken up and the Ubuntu lock screen is
  displayed
  
  Actual behavior: the monitor stays off, black screen
  
  Additional information:
  
-  - Suspending and resuming works fine.
-  - Switching to a TTY doesn't work either, but the keyboard is responding (can turn caps lock on/off).
-  - I have to restart the computer to get it in a working state after this happens. (therefore SEVERE)

  It works on these configurations:
  
-  - proprietary AMD drivers (fglrx) - this works. 
-  - kernel 3.13 (default)

  Relevant hardware:
  
   - graphics card: AMD Radeon HD 7790
   - monitor: HP ZR2330w
  
+ My current solution:
+ 
+ Not locking the computer, and disabling automatic lock in Brightness &
+ Lock settings (set to Never). I did not disable suspending, because as I
+ said, that worked.
