Monitors not sleeping

[rfemali]

I am running Mageia 9. I have a mother board (Asus Proart Z790) that only had a single HDMI out so I am utilizing a USB-C port for my second display. When the monitors try to go to sleep, I will see the no input message then both go black but trun right back on. I have not been able to get them to stay asleep and any help would be most appreciated. Thanks.

Hi there, your description seems to miss a few details.
So you have your first screen attached via HDMI, and your second screen via USB-C?
Also do you use integrated graphics or a dedicated graphic card ?

When the monitors try to go to sleep, I will see the no input message then both go black but trun right back on.

What's the event when the monitors should go to sleep? After like 15 minutes of idle time, or when your computer goes to standby/hibernate or when ?
Also this does happen for both monitors ?

Please post the output of

Code: Select all

xset -q
lspcidrake -v | grep VGA

doktor5000,

Yes, one monitor on an HDMI cable and the other on USB-C to HDMI cable.

I checked the link and turning off my mouse had no affect and I do not have an auto setting on my monitors for input. Additionally, this is all the same hardware I had on my last mobo and this issue was not present.

When the monitors try to sleep they will go blue and say no input signal, then go black, and then after a couple seconds they will turn back on.

I am using the integrated graphics.

The output of xset -q was:

One bit is still missing:

What's the event when the monitors should go to sleep? After like 15 minutes of idle time, or when your computer goes to standby/hibernate or when ?

Also from the link, the main point was to try to disable DPMS (xset dpms force off) and also
to configure the input source for the monitors to what their actual input should be, not to automatic.
