Hi all,
This problem is something that has been happening for about 5 to 6 months. A couple of months ago I did a fresh installation of Garuda and it is still the same.
I am on a laptop and I have a second monitor with 3440x1440 resolution, so it is problematic to use nvidia-off-loading, since there are lags and jumps between windows movements or switching between them. So I have installed optimus-manager to switch completely to nvidia.
Everything goes perfect, except when I have to pause, the screen goes into lock and then the second monitor just won't turn on. There are times when the laptop screen also goes completely black. To try to fix this without forcing the shutdown I have tried:
- switching to tty2 (control + alt + F2) and back to tty1, but sometimes this doesn't work either.
- Disconnecting the hdmi cable, so that it reloads the lock screen. Sometimes combining with going to tty2.
In any of the situations, in case you manage to enter again to the active session, the secondary display is still disconnected, you have to go to the nvidia utility, to the 'X Server Display Configuration' section, and change in "Resolution" from Auto to the correct resolution, in 2 attempts. This makes the monitor active again, although in "Unify Outputs" mode, so you need to go to System Preferences --> Display, to again change the way you want to use the monitor. This makes using the system really annoying, and I'm not sure how to fix it.
Attached is the result of garuda-inxi.
