Strangely enough, I had time to do more testing today. I tried |
10 |
unplugging each monitor and trying it out forcing DPMS on. |
11 |
|
12 |
I have two monitors: MSI on DP, and a Samsung on HDMI. |
13 |
|

The Samsung is the one with EDID errors but it works fine with DPMS with |
15 |
the other monitor (MSI) unplugged. |
16 |
|
17 |
The MSI monitor (with the Samsung monitor unplugged) still has the |
18 |
problem with random wakes. |

Thinking it might be a displayport issue, I hooked my laptop to the hdmi |
21 |
port on the MSI - same problem... couldn't use the main PC as there's |
22 |
only one hdmi port on the video card. |
23 |
|
24 |
So the MSI monitor is at fault here, both hdmi and displayport fail to |
25 |
use DPMS correctly. |

Oddly enough, it's the Samsung with the EDID errors but it is working |
28 |
fine despite those errors. Go figure... |

Alas, now at least I can move on with configuring the rest of the |
31 |
system. Looks like the only way to fix this problem is to get another |
32 |
monitor. |
