Started happening after updating to the latest xserver. Worked perfectly before that.

Comment 1 Olivier Fourdan 2019-05-29 11:35:06 UTC
Can you please post the Xorg logs to make sure which driver you are using? (I suspect modesettings)

(That would be the last atomic changes for modesettings driver).

Comment 2 Shaji 2019-05-31 11:05:09 UTC
That would be correct; I am indeed using the modesettings driver:

[  2609.157] (==) Matched modesetting as autoconfigured driver 0
[  2609.157] (==) Matched fbdev as autoconfigured driver 1
[  2609.157] (==) Matched vesa as autoconfigured driver 2
