Hi! I think I might have tripped that up before.

Or a different DPMS bug?
Does "wake up the output" here mean DPMS wake, or starting drawing to that output again?

One of my monitors, which is quite slow to wake up (AOC U2879VF) pretty often becomes frozen after waking up from DPMS.
While on the other monitor (an old NEC MultiSync) this problem never happened.
So like I could move the mouse and see the picture change on that monitor, but the first one was still displaying the frozen picture from before going to sleep.

The log lines were:

|[00:42:10.740] queueing pageflip failed: m [00:42:10.740] Couldn't apply 
state for output DP-2|
