The problem starts when we _disconnect_ the HDMI cable. At least some of the errors you referenced in <a href="show_bug.cgi?id=101499#c8">comment 8</a> already happen before that. They're related to failed attempts at page flipping. xf86-video-amdgpu manages to chug along regardless.

Toggling DPMS off disables scanout, which allows the old scanout buffer to be moved out of VRAM, so the new one can be moved in. Some details might differ from the above, but that should be roughly what's happening.</pre> </div> <hr> You are receiving this mail because: <ul> <li>You are the assignee for the bug.</li> </ul> </body> </html>
