How to recover when monitor goes blank.
Hi,
I have my monitor, keyboard and mouse shared through a KVM switch.
One host is Linux Debian bookworm 12.5 and another is laptop running
Windows 11. When I leave KVM on the laptop side for extended period
I have issues switching back to Debian side. When I switch, the
screen is blank and KB does not respond as if Debian is running
headless. I had to remote login and reboot Debian side with KVM
locked on this side to get back the monitor/KB. This happens
regardless of whether I am in Xorg or VT. I do not know how to
force Debian/Linux to check for monitor/KB again after extended
period of disconnect when it has assumed it is running headless. Any
solutions?
Regards
Ramesh
