oops, then. yes I now know how to bisect. I can.

I used the actual power button on the monitors that have them and the stupid
joystick thing on the third monitor (works like a button) when this first
happens but I just found that it doesn't matter, triggered it on 4.18.9 with
dpms too.

On 4.18.9:
> set xscreensaver to immediately turn monitors off with dpms
> lock screen
> wait for monitors go into suspend
> press button on keyboard
> monitors don't come back on, system freeze
will attach same-problem-4.18.9.txt with that one. 4.18.5 is fine. I notice
there was a lot of amdgpu changes between 4.18.7 and 4.18.8 in the log. I have
used 4.19 git kernels for some time and this didn't happen to me until 4.19rc4
but that could simply be because I didn't turn off the monitors(???). 

bisecting will take time.
