@Roger: Could you please test the following: Disable your screensaver. If you are using xscreensaver make sure to kill the xscreensaver process, too, to reduce the possibility of influences to the test. Start the following in a graphical terminal, this will force the display to the standby DPMS state: xset dpms force standby Than after some seconds move your mouse. If the second monitor still keeps in suspended state this bug is most likely in nouveau and the screensaver is ruled out. Kind regards, Ronny
