I use three monitors. I do it with the two DVI interfaces on the card,
plus I use an 'active' DisplayPort to DVI dongle on the card's DP. It's
a Radeon 7850 incidentally. I use an xrandr script to setup the
monitors in the lxdm configuration for lxdm, and again
from /etc/X11/Xsession.d/. The DP monitor is primary, and is the center
screen.
Fairly recently - I'd say a month or so ago - usually my monitor on the
dongle, but not always - will not come back on after physically
shutting them down. And, it's inconsistent on how/when it happens. It
has happened overnight when the monitor is still on too.
For me, if I disconnect the USB power interface to the active dongle,
wait a minute, then plug it back in, it'll 'jiggle the handle' and come
back on about 80% of the time. If that fails, and always for the other
monitors when they do it, I need to reboot to fix it (restarting a
bunch of shit would probably do it to). I tried blanking, but that
didn't help. I now simply turn off blanking, and never shut off the
monitors. Yeah it wastes juice, but it's better than waking up in the
morning, and not being able to access my desktop (I never shut my box
off).
I use lightdm as a starting login screen, and if I leave it there
without logging in for a while, the DP always goes down. So, I don't
think this (mine anyway) issue is happening in enlightenment actually,
but something much lower down. There's a lot of hoops being jumped
through between the physical card and e...
Maybe our issues are related somehow?
I'm running Debian jessie@sid, but on the packaged e17.6.
