I have to agree, it's a bit annoying. Testing it is not so easy though. We've had Leap15 running for maybe 2 months, yet it was only yesterday I noticed this. It's one of these "exotic" things that many people have no reason to use.
Well, as for a solution - I'll keep digging to see if I can have a monitor put into suspend, but the consoleblank default setting has to be in the kernel somewhere.
And note, this wasn't a slight on openSuSE testing, I don't think openSuSE had anything to do with it as I have seen this behavior on multiple distros starting sometime in the 4.16.x time frame (it could have been with the 0 release).
Right, I think so too.
The only reason I notice is I have 2 servers that have no need for X, so they only have the console up. For literally 15 years, with all AMD, NVidia and Intel video the consoles have always blanked. From the time of CRT's and using xvidtune to setup X it has always worked.
Do you also get them into suspend mode? I could swear I have seen monitors (without X) with the orange LED lit/flashing instead of the green, but I'm having trouble getting it to work now. (or finding an old system where it does work).
I'm not sure it is such an exotic feature. Surely you and I are not the only people that use Linux as a server that don't have X installed ;-)
