<pre>Hi Gary,
I was reading into Skylake support for MST and stumbled into this bug report.
The issue you are describing with the blank screen is something I have heard
before during my search, I posted all the info I could find here:
<a href="http://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/247722/intel-skylake-displayport-1-2-mst-daisy-chain-on-linux">http://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/247722/intel-skylake-displayport-1-2-mst-daisy-chain-on-linux</a>
It contains links to 2 different situations:
- one nvidia user reported that his second screen stayed blank (power saving
mode). After his screen saver switched on and he used the computer *both*
screens came on and the issue was gone until next reboot.
- an AMD Radeon user mentioned both his screens went into power saving mode
*after* logging in, while these were working before the login.
And now I read about your screen also going in power saving mode, so I am just
wondering if these situations all have something in common.
Perhaps you could try the work-around in this link to see if that solves the
blank screen problem:
