Most of the time I use this through a Dell WD19DC dock. The dock is connected to a Trendnet TK-240DP KVM Switch. If I have the laptop clamshell closed, like I normally do, and switch my KVM to the other computer, and then switch back, my monitors stay enter power saving mode. Most of the time, I am able to recover the screens by pressing Control-Alt-F3, waiting a few seconds, and then pressing Control-Alt-F2. The problem does not happen if the clamshell is left open. Part of the problem is that this is a cheaper KVM, and from the laptop's perspective the screens are disconnected when the computer is switched. Changing a few small things makes the problem not occur: * Opening the clamshell when switching the KVM. Interestingly, if the clamshell is open during either the switch away OR the switch back, the screen recovers. * Manually removing the displays one at a time does not reliably trigger the problem. Though I have witnessed the problem occur once or twice when removing a single display. I am attaching three nvidia bug report logs: 1. nvidia-bug-report-before.log.gz is after a clean boot when I have not used the KVM. 2. nvidia-bug-report-blank.log.gz is after switching the KVM to the other computer and back. During this time, both screens are black. The log was taken over ssh. 3. nvidia-bug-report-workaround.log.gz is after I have recovered the screen after using Ctrl-Alt-F3 followed by Ctrl-Alt-F2. This problem happens when prime-select is set to intel or nvidia. These logs are when it was set to intel. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
