Optimus enabled laptop connected to external monitor wont wake from sleep if external monitor is set to anything over 60Hz

Have you tried it @ 120Hz instead of 144Hz.

Yep still the same :frowning:

What does xset q show for monitor settings.

Try

xset -dpms

Edit: Does that turn off DPMS?

It does yes, but still nothing :confused:

Not sure if xset dpms turns it back on?

Edit: Actually it’s xset +dpms

Thanks :slight_smile:

I really think I will just leave this all, I don’t think I’ll get it working, I’ll just save up and build a desktop and will make sure all the parts are fully supported by Linux.

Thank you @ricklinux and everyone for helping me, I really do appreciate it so much!

I just wanted to check back with you on your MSI Monitor not waking from sleep mode. Are you sure you checked all the settings. On the OSD Menu of your monitor go to settings and there should be a check box for deep sleep. You want to turn that off.

I also have this problem. I believe the problem is with NVIDIA driver. Came here looking for the solution but I think I will also just switch to the AMD card.

My setup is
AMD Ryzen-5 5600X
Asrock B550 Motherboard
Nvidia 1030 Graphics card
Endeavour OS with 5.14.8 Kernel

Thanks
