I, too, had similar issues. In my case, one of those multi-input monitors. If it doesn't see an input (e.g. you rebooted, long-idle time screen-blanked, etc), the monitor would go scanning through its other input choices. Unfortunately, like nearly all modern devices, it's painfully slow at doing this (quite why anything needs 10 - 15 seconds to change inputs escapes me, other than designed by an arse). Then, when you tried to do something it was probably on the wrong input, and was so slow to get around to the input you wanted the display card had given up on the monitor (chicken and egg problem). Not to mention being painful to see boot-up screens. If you had two devices connected to the monitor, it was a real nuisance. It'd latch onto the always-on source, and was nearly impossible to get it to wait for the just switched on source. If you have any automatic input scanning options on your display, switch them off. And connecting your source to input one may help. -- uname -rsvp Linux 3.10.0-1160.49.1.el7.x86_64 #1 SMP Tue Nov 30 15:51:32 UTC 2021 x86_64 Boilerplate: All unexpected mail to my mailbox is automatically deleted.
