from Adam Bolte
My Fury X doesn't crash like it used to - no call traces in th=
e kernels now.
But quite often the monitor will switch off and simply stay off. This happe=
ns
when I try to resume from suspend (happened to me today), or load a full-sc=
reen
app under Wine (eg. I got this with Jack Keane 2 and Wine and Nine yesterda=
y).
I can hear the game running through the speakers, but the monitor has lost
signal.
Sometimes I can get the picture back by hitting Ctrl+Alt+F1 to switch to a
virtual console, and then Ctrl+Alt+F7 to switch back to Xorg. But sometimes=
I
have to slowly repeat this 20 or so times before the picture returns.
Another thing that sometimes gets the signal back is to unplug and replug t=
he
DisplayPort monitor cable from the Fury X, but generally I have to do this =
10
or more times before picture returns. I only do this if I'm not getting
anywhere by switching back and forth between virtual consoles and Xorg.
Interestingly, full-screen games seems to produce this problem *much* more
often than native games under Steam. In fact, I can't remember the last tim=
e I
had this problem with a Steam game. When using Wine, I try to run in window
mode to avoid this problem completely. I also try to avoid suspending, and
always turn my computer completely off. Obviously this is all quite
frustrating.
Not sure if it matters, but I'm using a BenQ XL2730Z at 143.something Hz (w=
hich
is the xrand preference over 144Hz for some reason). I'm not at my desktop =
now
so can't check exactly.
