Hello,
I’m new to Manjaro but not so new to Linux. I’m having an issue where my second monitor periodically (anywhere from 30 seconds to 10 minutes) turns off for about 2 seconds and turns back on.
The only log output that I can find that could be related to this is the output from /var/log/Xorg.1.log:
My primary monitor does not do this and I’m not sure what the issue could be given that I haven’t noticed this behavior on any other Linux distro I’ve tried on this PC (PopOS, Elementary OS, Debian).
Here are some common log outputs from random posts on this forum but involved Nvidia and monitors. Please let me know if you’d like to see anything else.
Conf / Log Output
/var/log/Xorg.1.log
This doesn’t tell me much because the frequency of the monitor turning off/on is much faster than 2500 seconds.
