Me too. I use fedora and have the same issue. Actually, using a KVM to switch
to another machine
then back does the same thing (dark screen, monitor says no HDMI signal). I
ended up with the same solution (xrandr).
BTW, the text consoles (ttyN) are visible, only the X11 one (tty1 for me) is
blank.
For me this started a few months ago, it was working fine until then.
I agree that X11 seems to think all is well.
I suspected it is the intel embedded GPU that is at fault, the vibe on the 'net
is that this driver is in bad shape.
Changing X11 to use modesetting (was intel) did not help.
Thanks for confirming I am not alone having the issue.
I have written the following script (that you can consider public
domain), to be called from the greeter-wrapper. At first I considered
calling `xrandr --output $out --primary --auto` but I eventually decided
to kill the greeter wrapper and cause it to restart. Among other things
because greeter-setup-script creates a background image at the
resolution of the screen.
Probably similar to my script (I do not use/understand zsh).
However, how do you launch it if the screen goes blank while being used, like
unplug/plug the monitor?
My script is similar but launched from cli.
I need to find a way to assign a "hot key" to launch the script blind,
regardless of the program that has focus.
