Message #10960
[Bug 1308105]
On Linux Mint 18 xfce, I too got bitten by this bug.
After power off / power on, the monitor reports 'no signal'.
Intel Integrated Q45/Q43 Graphics (Dell Optiplex 780 USFF)
DisplayPort <--> DVI-D cable
Acer V243HL LCD Monitor (1920x1080 @60Hz)
I applied 'Enable crtc if it is disabled after power cycle' patch as provided in comment #53 by jkampe68 to the source package of xfce4-settings (4.12.0-2ubuntu1)
This fixed the issue. Thank you jkampe68.
I sincerely hope this patch or an adaptation that fixes the problem
accordingly will find its way into the xfce4-repository.
Thanks in advance!
Luuk

Xfce resets TV mode to NULL when power cycled

Bug description:
I had an HTPC with Mythbuntu 12.04 installed. Upon upgrading a new
behavior that if the TV is power cycled it no longer detects a link
with the HTPC.
When this happens I can find in the xorg log that there is an
accompanying log item:
[ 39829.509] (II) NVIDIA(0): Setting mode "NULL"
After debugging with NVIDIA at
https://devtalk.nvidia.com/default/topic/729955/linux/tv-stops-being-
detected/ we've deteremined it's a X client that reacts to the RANDR
events causing the mode to be set to NULL.
Working through the list in an Xfce environment, the culprit is
xfsettingsd. If xfsettingsd is running, it causes the TV to come up
in a NULL mode. If it's killed, it remains in the mode it was
previously running in.
Until this is fixed, this behavior can be worked around with a simple shell script:
==============================
#!/bin/sh
#Fix TV state when HDMI link is lost.
#By Mario Limonciello <superm1@xxxxxxxxxx>
OUTPUT="HDMI-0"
BAD_MODE="1280x720"
GOOD_MODE="1920x1080"
for MODE in $BAD_MODE $GOOD_MODE; do
DISPLAY=:0 xrandr --output $OUTPUT --mode $MODE
sleep 2
done
