[Bug 570720] Re: turning off attached TV disables it

 

Aaron Bentley, this bug was reported a while ago and there hasn't been
any activity in it recently. We were wondering if this is still an
issue? If so, could you please test for this with the latest development
release of Ubuntu? ISO images are available from
http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily-live/current/ .

If it remains an issue, could you please run the following command in
the development release from a Terminal
(Applications->Accessories->Terminal), as it will automatically gather
and attach updated debug information to this report:

apport-collect -p linux <replace-with-bug-number>

Also, could you please test the latest upstream kernel available following https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds ? It will allow additional upstream developers to examine the issue. Please do not test the daily kernel folder, but the one all the way at the bottom. Once you've tested the upstream kernel, please comment on which kernel version specifically you tested. If this bug is fixed in the mainline kernel, please add the following tags:
kernel-fixed-upstream
kernel-fixed-upstream-VERSION-NUMBER

where VERSION-NUMBER is the version number of the kernel you tested. For example:
kernel-fixed-upstream-v3.12-rc1

This can be done by clicking on the yellow circle with a black pencil icon next to the word Tags located at the bottom of the bug description. As well, please remove the tag:
needs-upstream-testing

If the mainline kernel does not fix this bug, please add the following tags:
kernel-bug-exists-upstream
kernel-bug-exists-upstream-VERSION-NUMBER

As well, please remove the tag:
needs-upstream-testing

Once testing of the upstream kernel is complete, please mark this bug's
Status as Confirmed. Please let us know your results. Thank you for your
understanding.

Title:
  turning off attached TV disables it

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: xserver-xorg-video-ati

  The sole monitor attached to this computer is Toshiba 42XV54SU
  television.  When I turn the television off, and later turn it back
  on, the computer display does not appear (other inputs, such as cable
  TV do work).

  The only way I have found to restore the display without restarting X is this script:
  #!/bin/sh
  DISPLAY=:0.0 xrandr --output DVI-1 --off
  DISPLAY=:0.0 xrandr --output DVI-1 --auto

  (I run it from another computer using SSH, since I can't see what I'm
  doing.)

  I have disabled the screen saver and the Power Managment setting "Put
  display to sleep when inactive for" is set to Never

  I used this setup under Jaunty and Karmic for the lives of those
  distros, and did not experience this issue.  It seems to be new in
  Lucid.  (OTOH, 3D acceleration works in Lucid for the first time, and
  I have Desktop Effects enabled.)
