RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.
Description of problem:
After leaving the server alone for some time and activating the
monitor's power saving mode, the screen is blank even after touching
the mouse or keyboard to recover from the power saving mode. The
monitor's power lamp changes from orange to green so it seems the
power itself has recovered.
The screen image could be recovered by pressing Ctrl+Alt+Fn to switch
to another console and pressing Ctrl+Alt+F1 to switch back. I have
attached the Xorg.0.log output. The messages below are at almost near
the end of the file.
When the monitor enters power saving mode, the following lines are
appended to Xorg.0.log.
--------
(II) XGI(0): XGIDisplayPowerManagementSet(3)
XGISetDPMS(VESA_POWER_STATE = 0x400)...
