Howdy, A while back during my routine upgrades, I got a update to nvidia-drivers. I went from nvidia-drivers-470.129.06 to nvidia-drivers-470.141.03. Since then, I'm having trouble getting screen 2 to stay on. When I turn the TV on, it disables screen 2 which makes TV 2 not have a signal. I enable screen 2 again but it disables again when the TV powers back up and tries to connect. After I do this a few times, it eventually accepts it and stays on. I wanted to go back to old 129 driver version but it is no longer in the tree and when I found a link to the ebuild on packages.gentoo.org, it doesn't like the ebuild for some reason. It won't let me make a manifest for it. Also, this happens when I turn my TVs off and lock my screen so I can go to my weekly Doctor visit and grocery shopping trip. When I come back and cut everything on, this is when the trouble starts. Once I get it running, it runs all week without any problems at all as long as the TVs stay on. Also, I have 2 TVs. Video card goes to a splitter which then goes to both TVs.
I don't mind putting the old version in a local overlay and running it but if that can't happen, does anyone know of a way to force nvidia to work? I'm open to either option.

Maybe I need to update the config file instead of letting the GUI thing do it. I dunno. I just need a fix but not real sure where to go next. Maybe I'm overlooking something simple. By the way, I use the Nvidia GUI thingy to change settings and enable screen 2. Maybe there is a better way?? In case it matters, I use KDE. Thanks Dale :-) :-)
