Yes, I'm just testing that. I'm waiting to see if my older systems will do a monitor suspend. (which I believe they did/should do).
Hmm, on the first attempt, I don't see any monitor suspend. Nor on the 2nd with a Leap15 system (setterm --blank 60 --powersave on).
TBH, it's not a major problem, we only have a few monitors in the datacentre, we're just not use to seeing them on all the time. Still, now that I've looked into it, having them suspend would be nice. (they can on for weeks and months).
This is frustrating has hell, and I think it is kernel related more than anything else. This problem showed up on Arch several months ago. The default console just stopped blanking itself. I don't recall if it was with 4.16 or one of the .1, .2 --- releases since. I just got to the point I leave the monitors turned off. If you find a solution, I'm interested. I can't believe crap just breaks that has been working fine for 15 years and isn't fixed before it gets released. -- David C.
