One display black after waking from sleep

Support Graphics & Display
1

After waking from sleep, one of my displays wakes up but is completely black. The other display works normally. The black display appears to be detected, because when I power off that display, windows are reorganized into the other display. When I power that display back on, it comes up normally and windows are rearranged as they were before going to sleep.

Anyone have any ideas? Let me know if there’s any more information I can provide.

Here’s my system information:

Welcome to the Manjaro Community! :wave:

Also, thanks for posting system info. :ok_hand:

I wonder if the same occurs with Wayland? Worth a try, especially since you don’t have Nvidia graphics.

Another thought: what happens if you switch the monitor connections?

Same behavior with Wayland.

Testing out switching the monitor connections was a bit of an ordeal because I have them daisy-chained through monitor arms, but managed to try it. This time, the display that had been black after sleep, which was the one on the end of the daisy-chain, and was now connected to the previously unused port on the GPU, came up normally. The other display came up black, which was first in the chain and remained connected to the GPU as it had been. Very strange.

Indeed strange. There’s another thread with a similar issue (3-monitor setup in that case).

I’m wondering if it’s another Plasma bug. I’ll :eyes: for something.

I guess the “black-screen” monitor does still show up in Display Settings when in this state? No visible mouse pointer either?

Also, apologies for the delay in replying; feline companion decided to take the laptop space (my lap)!

Exactly. The black screen shows up in Display Settings and does ‘wake up’ when the computer resumes from sleep. Then it will be removed from Display Settings when it is turned off, reappear when turned back on and then begins to function normally. And no mouse cursor or anything that I have seen when in the black state.
