shemgp (shemgp) wrote : DisplayPort Monitor works only once and not anymore after switching VTs

On Cosmic dev, I can't use my displayport monitor after logging in to gdm3. It works for login (displays the login page) after the VT switch to the session it becomes black. Using CTRL+f1, etc doesn't also show the console even in my VGA monitor.

Devices:
* Thinkpad x230t with Intel 3rd gen core processor and graphics unit.
* Laptop LCD.
* 4k monitor plugged in to display port.
* 1080p monitor plugged in to vga port.

The graphic's memory is not enough so I have to turn off the Laptop LCD to power 4k and 1080p monitors. When it boots, I can see the login screen in the 4k monitor.

To be able to login, what I do is unplug 4k monitor when booting and logging in. Once session is active, I plugin the 4k monitor.

Thank you for your work/help.
