Description Jeff Fearn 🐞 2011-04-17 22:58:30 UTC

Description of problem:
RHEL6.1 nightly on nvidia quadro with dual monitors, sometimes the second monitor will not wake up after the screen saver is activated. You need to fully disable the monitor in the display config, then re-enable it to wake it up.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
kernel-2.6.32-131.0.1.el6

How reproducible:
Random. Some times it works, the longer the screen saver has been on the more likely it is to break.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Upgrade from a nightly repo
2. reboot
3. allow screen saver to engage
4. wait
5. login
  
Actual results:
One of the screens will not wake up.

Expected results:
Both screens wake up.

Additional info:
Ben had me test a scratch build with a fix, the problem has not reoccurred in the last week since installing the patched kernel.

Just for the record, what is the version and release of the working kernel?

This should be fixed for sure with the current kernel builds available for 6.2, can you confirm Jeff?
