Since NVIDIA 352.41, monitor no longer powers off after inactivity

After inactivity, my monitor would power off via DPMS. Now the screen just turns black, but the backlight stays on. I'm currently running the latest nvidia-355.11-3, but the problem has existed since 352.41-1.

Last known working version was nvidia-352.30-3. It works if I roll back to that driver version.

EDIT: I should also mention that running "xset dpms force off" does not power down the screen either.

Re: Since NVIDIA 352.41, monitor no longer powers off after inactivity

I've been having the same issue with these drivers, except when I run "xset dpms force off", my monitors shut off for a few seconds, and then they come right back on. Funnily enough, this issue only occurs with monitors attached via DisplayPort, and not HDMI, or rather HDMI via passive DisplayPort adapters. Ugh, times like this, make me wish I had waited to buy an AMD card, rather than jumping onto the Maxwell bandwagon mad.

Edit: I noticed this appear in my Xorg log after I ran "xset dpms force off".

Same issue here. I have two monitors one connected via DVI and one via DisplayPort. Monitor connected via DVI switches off just fine, but the one connected via DisplayPort does not. I have GTX 960 card.

OP, here. I'm connected via DisplayPort, too.

Re: Since NVIDIA 352.41, monitor no longer powers off after inactivity

Guys, good news! I've discovered a simple workaround to this whole conundrum big_smile! Just downgrade your driver from 352-355.xx to 346.87. First, you'll need to remove the drivers installed from Arch's repositories. Then just download the appropriate driver off of Nvidia's website here, run the binary as root, and just follow the onscreen instructions to install. Unfortunately, GTX 950 users will have to wait until Nvidia resolves this issue with versions 352.xx or later.

on nvidia forum, nvidia is of course blaming the monitor. I have 3 monitors from 3 different manufacturers and all behave the same.

Re: Since NVIDIA 352.41, monitor no longer powers off after inactivity

OT, but.......

@sapphirus. Please do not recommend installing software outside of pacman. You are setting yourself up for trouble down the road. If you can't find the driver version you want from the AUR, and for some reason you can't downgrade to an earlier pacman package from your cache, create your own PKGBUILD for the driver version you want. You and anyone following your advice on installing from nVidia's site will almost assuredly have issues when pacman tries to upgrade the nVidia drivers or the Linux Kernel built against a newer nVidia driver later on, and the upgrade will fail. I know you're new here, but you need to read up on package management with Arch using pacman before you tell someone to almost definitely cause themselves problems for future upgrades.

Re: Since NVIDIA 352.41, monitor no longer powers off after inactivity

disabling Displayport v1.2 (falling back to 1.1a) on my monitors gives back the monitor sleep

nvidia 358.16 should have solved this issue.

358.16 didn't fix this problem for me, neither did switching from displayport 1.2. Could it be because I'm using a ck version of the nvidia driver?

Anyone else still having this after 358.16?

These issues were resolved for me after upgrading to 358.16.
