Description James Pulver 2017-10-19 17:23:28 UTC

Description of problem:
https://bugzilla.xfce.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11107

This problem seems to be present in EL7.4 (Scientific Linux 7.4) running xfce4-settings-4.12.0-7.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
4.12.0-7

How reproducible:
Install EL7.4 and XFCE4 group on computer with display port used for the monitor. I have tested on Lenovo P510 (nVidia) and Lenovo M700 (Intel graphics)

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Log in to XFCE.
2. Unplug or power down monitor
3. Turn monitor back on / power on monitor.

Actual results:
Blank screen - no signal. Can access virtual terminal via ctrl-alt-F2. 

Expected results:
Your XFCE session comes back.

Seems like building 4.13.1 or 4.12.1(if you didn't want 4.13) would include the linked patch.
