Hi Everyone, been having this issue for a while now on my Desktop Tower computer where the monitors (dual) wont turn back on after waking up from suspend. Backlit keyboard turns back on, mouse laser comes back on but Monitors dont.
It doesnt matter which key I press on my keyboard or how much I jiggle the mouse the monitors do not turn back on.
My OS is on Xorg by default, I have tried logging out and changing from xorg to wayland using the gear icon at the bottom right of login screen. This solves the issue but creates an even worse one where the graphics cannot even display text or anything else properly making the computer pretty much unusable.
I have the latest NVIDIA drivers installed, hoping someone might have an idea of how to fix this, my hardware and OS specs are below
With Nvidia graphics, you are best to stay with X11 than Wayland at this time.
Which Nvidia driver or drivers have you tried so far?
Are you on one of the ZorinOS 18 editions or ZorinOS 17.3?
Can you please edit your forum profile, to show which ZorinOS edition (e.g. Pro, Core, Lite, Education etc) you are using. That will help us to help you.
I assume you're using display port given the dual monitor setup, but if you're using HDMI, consider using display port, as it works better with Linux in general. Also check for powersaving settings on your monitors, there may be a way to disable the suspending.
And unless you mean TVs, display port support is universal. I sell PC monitors all the time in my job, they all have display ports and the connection of choice for demos is always display port.
