So…I have an…interesting behavior I’ve never had before with an Nvidia or integrated intel chipsets…I have now my AMD card plugged both to a normal HDMI monitor, and then to another HDMI TV. Both work well. However, when I turn the TV off… The monitor will start flickering. About three flickers every minute or so. It’s not a signal loss also, I can see it’s drawing for a brief split second the windows that were drawing on the TV area, so it’s kinda rearranging the whole desktop area…then it resets. It does this 3 times, the whole ordeal last a couple seconds, in which everything is unusable because of the flicker, and focus going to all sorts of places. If I turn the TV back on, the behavior stops immediately.

Any idea what’s causing this, and how can I sort it out? I’m using KDE Neon latest (it’s still Ubuntu 22.04), with an AMD 7800XT, with kisak’s ppa. Running an updated kernel 6.5.0-1007-oem. (I followed these instructions to get it working at all)

    Thinking that the TV is periodically connecting and your desktop environment is trying to switch to dual monitors before quickly losing the TV connection.

      I think it’s indeed related to detecting the TV on and off. On the previous PC (this one is just brand new) this didn’t happen.
