If you are reconnecting the VGA after using the laptop in another location, I assume the laptop is in some "suspend" mode. When using the VGA monitor do you also use the laptop display or is the laptop closed? > > Is there someway to force the video driver to wake up and see the > attached vga monitor? > First, is your system fully updated including vendor firmware (so others will be using the same software versions)? Are you using F38 Workstation and Gnome? I have a desktop that has a monitor and a TV that is usually turned off. When first booted the login shows on the TV, so I use Settings/Displays to make the monitor the main display. The system never suspends, but logging out and back in some I sometimes have to connect the TV to get the login prompt. Have you tried Settings/Displays to detect the VGA monitor? Is the system suspended or awake when VGA is connected, and is the monitor on or off when making the connection? A workaround may be a simple change to your usual routine. Normally udev should handle events like connecting an external monitor. If you have a way to ssh into the laptop you could use "udevadm monitor" to see what happens when connecting the monitor with the laptop lid closed.
