I just did a clean install of 13.2
Video card is NVidia GEForce 210 running Nouveau drivers;
Monitors are: Acer H236HL running at 1920x1080 and a Samsung SyncMaster912N running at 1280x1024
50-moniitor.conf, 50-device.conf, and 5-screen.conf are all empty.
Configuration for the monitors was done through Configure Desktop, Monitors and Displays and seems to work EXCEPT the Acer screen periodically goes black. When the Acer goes black, the Samsung monitor continues to work as if nothing is wrong. The Acer will stay black for a few seconds, then come back on. There don’t seem to be any distortions to the video when it comes back. There doesn’t seem to be anything that “triggers” the failure.

I was thinking of adding the following section to 50-monitor.conf - do I need to add anything to the 50-screen or 50-device files since the Acer uses HDMI?
