I have a single monitor connected via a KVM switch to two video outputs, the onboard Intel and an NVidia GPU card. I use this setup for VMs with GPU passthrough. The first switch I tried had exactly this problem, i.e. if I switched away from the NVidia and then back again it would remain off. I ended up getting a different model KVM switch that maintains each of its connections "live" so the problem doesn't occur. Possibly this is something the OP could consider. poc _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to users-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Do not reply to spam on the list, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure
