Thank you! There is related discussion here
<https://github.com/QubesOS/qubes-core-admin/pull/240> and here
<https://github.com/QubesOS/qubes-issues/issues/4509> but the problem
I've been having is that after starting a VM with the monitor plugged
in, it will only continue to work as long as the monitor never goes
blank, even from the screen saver, or from switching temporarily to just
using the laptop screen, or from going into suspend mode and then waking
up before the monitor has been woken from its power saving mode.
However, today when I tried to replicate the problem it didn't happen.
Hopefully that will continue!
