[invalid - ignore please] Monitor not starting after being turned off

yorrd · 2015-05-12 07:20:20

There are the following symptoms:

- when I suspend / resume, the monitor does not turn on again. Everything else works fine
- when I switch to tty2, the monitor turns off, but it doesn't turn on again.
- when I start, I have to turn off the monitor and turn it on after I heard the system start beep, otherwise, it won't receive any input and turn on and off telling me there's no input every time

System Information:
Kernel doesn't matter, have tried 3.18 through to 4.0
Nvidia latest driver, 60Hz 4k resolution, displayport (!), GTX 970 if that matters
UEFI and gummiboot, don't think that's important though

Any help is greatly appreciated, I'm close to giving up on this.

Sounds like it's a driver issue.

around april 22 arch switched from nvidia 346.59 to 349.16 .

Did you also have problems with the 346.xx driver ?

Thank, I'll try when I'm home.

So there's no way to keep the new driver and stay bleeding edge if this appears to be the issue? Too bad...

first thing is to verify if it is nvidia driver that causes the problems, atm that's more like an educated guess.

If nvidia is the problem, [testing] has 349.16-3 while [extra] is at 349.16-3 .

What I did: I didn't find a nvidia-346xx package, only the opencl, utils and libs for it. I installed those, but that made no difference. I think I'll test with version further back today when I'm home again.

You're saying testing and extra have the same version? Or is this a typo?

Lone_Wolf · 2015-05-13 10:58:37

it's a typo, [extra] now has 349.16.-2 .

for older versions look in your /var/cache/pacman/pkg folder.
If you don't have them anymore, the arch rollback machine can help, check wiki for details.

I tried all driver version down to 340 now, no changes... Maybe this is an issue with my monitor not being recognized somehow?

People here are having the exact same issue: http://hardforum.com/showthread.php?t=1823018

But there's no solution there either

Okay... turns out it is a driver issue. I've tested around a bit and the description of the problem changed quite heavily, so I wrote a new post here: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=197461

Help is still appreciated, but I'll mark this as invalid because I didn't identify the problem correctly.
