I bought a Kinivo 501BN HDMI automatic switch with 5 HDMI input ports.
My results are mixed.
First I've had it a week plus and have this hooked up so far:
1 openSUSE Leap 42.2 Alpha 2 1 Mini-Mac dual booting to MacOS and Windows 7 2 Windows boxes with WIndows 8.1
For the Windows / MacOS machines I had to disable the power saver feature that blanks the screen before it became able to reliable re-connect to the computers.
After that, the Mac and the Windows boxes are working well.
For the openSUSE box, I've unchecked "Screen Energy Saving" in the KDE Energy Saving module, but it hasn't helped.
Where else do I need to disable the power saving mode that turns off the monitor?
Thanks
Well, that doesn't seem to be the problem. I left the HDMI switch set to the openSUSE PC and ignored it for a couple hours. The desktop screen is still up, so I have indeed eliminated both the screen saver and the power off feature. I'll leave it like that at least overnight. I expect all to be well. Unfortunately I've had at least 2 occasions where I've moved the HDMI switch away from that PC and then a day or so later when I come back I can't wake the screen up. One of those was today. My solution today was to remote into the box and reboot. There has to be a better way. Otherwise I can treat the PC as headless except immediately after a reboot.
