Dear all,

I was having problems with GTK applications (mostly Emacs and Ardour) producing some glitches, like parts of the screen flickering and not being displayed properly.

After some Googling, I found a suggestion to change AccelMethod from "sna" to "uxa" in /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-intel.conf. It worked, it even fixed a problem that, despite my Xorg and xrandr, configurations, Plasma would switch the primary and secondary displays.

BUT: now when the monitors turn off (the computer does NOT suspend, only the screens turn off), I cannot turn them on again until I switch to and a back from a virtual terminal (Ctrl+Alt-F1 then Ctrl+Alt-F7). Then, all is back to normal.

Any ideas on how to fix this?

Here is some info on the system:

      Code:

$ cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-monitor.conf
Section "Monitor"
    Identifier  "HDMI3"
    Option      "Primary"       "true"
EndSection

Section "Monitor"
    Identifier  "HDMI1"
    Option      "RightOf"        "HDMI3"
EndSection


$ cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-intel.conf
Section "Device"
  Identifier  "Intel Xeon E3-1200 v2/3rd Gen Core processor Graphics"
  Driver      "intel"
  Option "DRI" "3"
  Option      "AccelMethod" "uxa"
  #Option      "AccelMethod" "sna"
  #Option      "TearFree" "true"
  Option      "Monitor-HDMI1" "HDMI1"
  Option      "Monitor-HDMI3" "HDMI3"
EndSection


      Code:
