Forums -> UltraMon™ -> Primary Screen doesn't return after monitor has shut off

Hi,

I have a Fujitsu laptop with an ATI Mobility Radeon 9700 and I have an LCD monitor attached as a secondary display. I've used Ultramon for a long time, and only recently have I noticed this problem...

My current power saving settings, turn off my monitor after 15 minutes and then goes into standby after 20 minutes. I don't have a screensaver setup, so after 15 minutes, both of my screens turn off (go black/blank). Now, if I wait like a couple of minutes after the screens turn off and then try to turn them back on (move mouse/hit key) a strange thing happens. If my mouse cursor was last in the Primary display, and I move the mouse to use the computer again, both displays will come back up. However, if I had my cursor in the secondary monitor, then move it, only the secondary monitor returns.

I've tested this a couple of times, and the same thing happens each time. I haven't been able to time it per se, but it's getting to be really annoying. The only one I'm able to get both screens back, is to close the lid on my laptop (going into standby) and then opening it back up. I don't recollect having this problem ever before, but this happens in Ultramon 2.6 and 2.7.

I'm really just curious to see if this happens to anyone else. If anyone can shine some light on this issue, I'd be interested.

Thanks,
Chris L.

Might be an issue with the video card driver, but it's most likely not related to UltraMon.

To verify this, check if you still have the problem after uninstalling UltraMon.
