Screen goes off and on

Hi

I am experiencing a strange behavior: My screens are turning off and on again several times a minute.

I have two external monitors connected to my dockingstation. I use KDE. It does not matter if I try to do something or if just sit in front of the screen and touch nothing, they go off and after 1-2 seconds on again. Not synchronious.

Any idea what to check?

Re: Screen goes off and on

Please post your journal logs for such boot.

journalctl -b 0 | curl -F 'file=@-' https://0x0.st

Edit:
Test without docking station, and also try one monitor only..., how is the behavior in wayland/x11?
