Howdy,

A while back during my routine upgrades, I got a update to
nvidia-drivers.  I went from nvidia-drivers-470.129.06 to nvidia-drivers-470.141.03.  Since then, I'm having trouble getting
screen 2 to stay on.  When I turn the TV on, it disables screen 2 which
makes TV 2 not have a signal.  I enable screen 2 again but it disables
again when the TV powers back up and tries to connect.  After I do this
a few times, it eventually accepts it and stays on.  I wanted to go back
to old 129 driver version but it is no longer in the tree and when I
found a link to the ebuild on packages.gentoo.org, it doesn't like the
ebuild for some reason.  It won't let me make a manifest for it.  Also,
this happens when I turn my TVs off and lock my screen so I can go to my
weekly Doctor visit and grocery shopping trip.  When I come back and cut everything on, this is when the trouble starts.  Once I get it running,
it runs all week without any problems at all as long as the TVs stay
on.  Also, I have 2 TVs.  Video card goes to a splitter which then goes
to both TVs. 

I don't mind putting the old version in a local overlay and running it
but if that can't happen, does anyone know of a way to force nvidia to
work?  I'm open to either option.  This is my xorg.conf file:

I never changed that when I added the second screen for my TV.  Maybe I
need to update the config file instead of letting the GUI thing do it. 
I dunno.  I just need a fix but not real sure where to go next.  Maybe
I'm overlooking something simple. 

By the way, I use the Nvidia GUI thingy to change settings and enable
screen 2.  Maybe there is a better way??  In case it matters, I use KDE. 

Thanks

Dale
