Monitors won't stay off in X11 or Wayland
(lemmy.blahaj.zone)
What it says on the tin. Power management is set to turn my monitors off after a set amount of time. They all instantly come back on. I have resorted to using a screen saver in X11 until this is solved.
Three monitors, different brands: one hdmi->hdmi, one dp->hdmi, dp->dvi (pc->monitor)
Only one of the monitors have input auto-switching and that is disabled.
I am losing my mind even the cli xset dpms force off (X11) or kscreen-doctor --dpms off (Wayland) just has them come back on seconds later.
All the A/V cables are new.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
My power management thing only gives the option to block sleep and isn't showing any applications blocking it.
xscreensaver works fine and doesn't wake up immediately on X11. So it's something to do with the monitors themselves, I think.
Do they have buttons you can use to turn them off?
Yes they do and I actually narrowed it down to one monitor being the issue. When it's removed from the set, the other two sleep fine.
