Have an issue that I've been living with for awhile now, more
annoyance but I'd like to find a fix for it.
I have an up to date Fedora 23 install, the system has an nvidia quadro K420 card and
I'm (at the moment) running the NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-361.28.run drivers locally
compiled. I have a dual head setup and it works great with two exceptions.
1. If the screen goes blank due to inactivity when I wake it up the dual head is borked
up. Either one monitor is left asleep or the monitors mirror each other instead of a
spanned desktop. I have to run the nvidia-settings utility, reset the configuration and
then all is well until the next time the screen goes into it's blank/sleep mode. I
can't disable all the power save stuff to keep the screen from going blank and/or
locking the desktop.
2. If I switch over to another computer plugged into the same KVM (linkskey) and then
switch back usually the right monitor blinks and the spanned desktop then comes back but
all my open applications have relocated to the left monitor. they had been spread out
across the desktop.
I've tried the kmod/akmod drivers in the past and saw similar behavior. For me at
least getting the drivers from nvidia and running their installer has always seemed to be
more stable even with this annoying behavior.
Anyone know of what I might do to get rid of this annoyance?
Your monitors are cabled through a KVM? If so, have you tried to cable them directly to
eliminate the KVM as the source of the problem?
