Howdy,
A while back during my routine upgrades, I got a update to
nvidia-drivers. I went from nvidia-drivers-470.129.06 to
nvidia-drivers-470.141.03. Since then, I'm having trouble getting
screen 2 to stay on. When I turn the TV on, it disables screen 2 which
makes TV 2 not have a signal. I enable screen 2 again but it disables
again when the TV powers back up and tries to connect. After I do this
a few times, it eventually accepts it and stays on. I wanted to go back
to old 129 driver version but it is no longer in the tree and when I
found a link to the ebuild on packages.gentoo.org, it doesn't like the
ebuild for some reason. It won't let me make a manifest for it. Also,
this happens when I turn my TVs off and lock my screen so I can go to my
weekly Doctor visit and grocery shopping trip. When I come back and cut
everything on, this is when the trouble starts. Once I get it running,
it runs all week without any problems at all as long as the TVs stay
on. Also, I have 2 TVs. Video card goes to a splitter which then goes
to both TVs.
I don't mind putting the old version in a local overlay and running it
but if that can't happen, does anyone know of a way to force nvidia to
work? I'm open to either option. This is my xorg.conf file:
root@fireball / # cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf
# nvidia-settings: X configuration file generated by nvidia-settings
# nvidia-settings: version 470.86
# nvidia-xconfig: X configuration file generated by nvidia-xconfig
# nvidia-xconfig: version 331.13

I never changed that when I added the second screen for my TV. Maybe I
need to update the config file instead of letting the GUI thing do it.
I dunno. I just need a fix but not real sure where to go next. Maybe
I'm overlooking something simple.
By the way, I use the Nvidia GUI thingy to change settings and enable
screen 2. Maybe there is a better way?? In case it matters, I use KDE.
Thanks
Dale
