View Full Version : [ubuntu] Turning off and then on a TV has "no signal"

Hi,
I have my TV and projector connected to my GTS450 and configured for twinview (config included). Both are connected from the DVI port in the card using a DVI to HDMI cable.

The issue:
On initial boot (TV truned on) all is fine and the display works well, but once I turn off the TV and turn it back on the TV displays "no signal". My projector is fine and works well.

The workaround that I currently use to get around this is by pressing Ctrl+Alt+F2 to get to tty2 and then Ctrl+Alt+F7 to get back to the GUI.
This is frustrating not to mention the unhappy missus.

I've tried a few things suggested in forums (used google search) but no use.

The OS is Ubuntu 12.04 (Just installed it yesterday)
I had the same issue in 10.10 so I upgraded to 11.04 and 11.10 and found that my system will not boot with kernel 3.0.x so I finally upgraded to 12.04 all is fine except for this issue.

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Regards,
Antony
