msodrewRequest for Help: I have found a few stray bug reports about it, but I want to know if it's common knowledge off the top of anyone's heads: are either the GTX 970  *or* Dell P2715Q mDP (4K@60Hz monitor) unstable/broken with Linux or Xfce4?–specifically causing X server screen blanking on Xubuntu 16.04 LTS Xenial. I feel like I've tried everything. Enable/Disable DKMS, power management (everything set to "never"), screensavers, etc... Or11:12
msodrewupgrading the driver to the aggressive nvidia driver ppa, turning MSI off in /etc/modprobe.d/ .... no suspect notice/error in the Xorg logs... it goes on. Been trying so hard to troubleshoot it for I really want to make linux my daily drive, but if I cannot come back to the computer in an hour and not have it dependably losing my entire X session, forcing a ctrl+alt+super+F1 and i gotta restart lightdm everytime.11:12
msodrew^ thanks ahead of time for anyone willing to read that11:13
