Thread: No video on Ubuntu 12.04 when switching from another HDMI device
i think have common video issue i've seen before, can't remember how fix it. have few hdmi devices (ps3, 360) , htpc running ubuntu. have denon receiver doing switching between devices. issue have is, whenever switch device ubuntu box or turn tv off/on, screen black no video, no way without hard rebooting. have nvidia geforce gt 430 , htpc connects via hdmi well. have up-to-date drivers.
see lot of problems hdmi audio, little on kind of video issue.
had similar problems?
some of better ht amps have edid/eld management allows caching etc..
failing there 2 option keywords /etc/x11/xorg.conf file:
option "usedisplaydevice" "dfp-0"
or more heavy handed option (& required)
option "connectedmonitor" "dfp"
notes:
see appendix b. "x config options" of nvidia driver readme.
/etc/x11/xorg.conf file absent default..
nvidia-xconfig can generate it.
check /var/log/xorg.0.log exact display device port labels i.e. hdmi tv "dfp-1"
