Description: HDTV client (Arch64bit,XFCE) goes through a
Receiver which can switch HDMI inputs, then to a HD monitor.
Until recently, I could switch away and find the video still
working when I switched back.
Recently this changed. The HDTV-client also dual boots Win7, which does allow switching. To wit: HDTV client setup(dual boot,HDMI,nvidiaGT610): ‥Archlinux/nvidiaGT610 ->SwitchingReceiver->Samsung-HD-monitor ‥Win7/nvidiaGT610 ->Switching-Receiver->Samsung-HD-Monitor Previous behavior: …switching away from HDTV-client then switching back - HD-monitor video works Current Behavior: …switching away from HDTV-client-Win7 then switching back - HD-monitor video works as expected …switching away from HDTV-client-Mythtv then switching back - HD-monitor video blank (no signal) but Remote desktop works, shows X11 working (putty SSL, vnc Remote Desktop). Requires reboot to restore video with HD-monitor on and Receiver HDMI selected to HDTV Archlinux/nvidiaGT610. Additional info: xorg-server-common 1.17.1-1>1.17.1-4 xorg-server 1.17.1-1>1.17.1-4 xorg-server-devel 1.17.1-1>1.17.1-4 xorg-server-xephyr 1.17.1-1>1.17.1-4 Linux KISE-066 3.19.1-1-ck #1 SMP PREEMPT Sat Mar 7 12:19:29 EST 2015 x86_64 GNU/Linux local/libcl 1.1-4 OpenCL library and ICD loader from NVIDIA local/libvdpau 0.9-1 Nvidia VDPAU library local/nvidia 346.47-3 NVIDIA drivers for linux local/nvidia-ck-k10 346.47-5 (ck-k10) VIDIA drivers for linux-ck (in use) local/nvidia-libgl 346.47-2 NVIDIA drivers libraries symlinks local/nvidia-utils 346.47-2 NVIDIA drivers utilities local/opencl-nvidia 346.47-2 OpenCL implemention for NVIDIA * config and/or log files etc. attached Steps to reproduce: •boot HDTV-client (Mythtv) with Receiver on with HDMI-in set to HDTV-client, HD-monitor on •after video displaying properly, switch Receiver HDMI-in to another HDMI source. •switch Receiver HDMI-in back to HDTV-client, no video on HDMI-monitor, HD-monitor indicate no signal •this does not happen with HDMI-client (Win7) vice HDMI-client (Mythtv) Same behavior when using linux 3.18.6-1 kernel and nvidia 346.47-3. Workaround: suspend HDTV-client before switching, wake-up with keyboard after switching back |

If it does, then the upstream bug for this is:
https://bugzilla.xfce.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11107
Dug out an old monitor, searched through the parts drawer and found a DVI-to-DB-9 converter, plugged it in and tested that per description in https://bugzilla.xfce.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11107.
The problem is resolved as video is restored after switching.
Thanks and please close this bug.
My workaround attaching an old monitor is not 100% effective, and this is a big pain in the neck.
