We are running a visualization lab with 10 large LED panels. The system is a dell workstation with 3 RTX 6000 Cards, Redhat Linux 9x. The problem is that whenever we switch off the screens and come back later we can’t get the login screen back. All screens remain black until we reboot. I have disabled nvidia drm in /etc/modprob.d/nvidia-modeset.conf options nvidia-drm modeset=0 Also Wayland is disabled in /etc/gdm/custom.conf So far, no luck. Any suggestions? # ![IMG_8230](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/nvidia/original/4X/e/b/2/eb275593733275aa95230af005cff2857dcaadd5.jpeg) ---

I assume you can set up ssh access to the setup? After you repro the issue, would you mind running nvidia-bug-report.sh to collect logs we can look at? ---

Hi @axelha , Thank you for reporting the bug. I have filed Bug # 5707413 internally to track this issue. 1. Can you please provide the make and model of the monitor that is in use? 2. Are you able to observe the same issue with fewer monitors - 1, 2 or 3 for example? 3. Do you know if this is a driver regression. Is there an older NVIDIA driver that did not hit this issue? ---
