[Bug 1268151] Re: [Dell M4800] DPMS support broken, fails to wake up the monitor after putting it to sleep

 

Ok, I also have A09 released 2014-06-26. The other thing I did was to
install the latest Nvidia drivers in Windows, but I did not think this
updates any firmware in the graphics card?

After that, I have almost not seen this issue anymore, but maybe once.

Bug description:
  Also affects nvidia-graphics-drivers-319

  The effect is identical to https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/fglrx-installer/+bug/958279
  but with Nvidia instead of AMD/ATI drivers.

  HW is Dell Precision M4800 with GK106GLM [Quadro K2100M] and QHD+
  display

  Once the display shuts off, it will not be woken up anymore and the screen stays dark.
  Only a restart of the Xserver will bring back the display at that point.

  A cycle of
  xset dpms force off; sleep 30; xset dpms force on
  will leave the display dark.

  At the moment I help myself by not allowing DPMS to switch off the display:
  neuffer@charion:~$ xset dpms 0 0 0

  neuffer@charion:~$ xset -q -d :0.0
