I have a opensuse 12.1 system with dual monitors using the Nouveau drivers. I do NOT have it set to automatically suspend in the Gnome 3 Power options. Last night I left this computer unattended for a couple of hours. When I came back both **monitors were blank, and no amount of pressing the spacebar or moving the mouse would wake them. **
I though maybe the system had gone into suspend, but I was able to easily SSH in from another computer on my network and reboot the system. Also I could still hear the fans running – normally these spin down if the system has been suspended.
Any idea how to fix this, or go about trouble shooting it?

i’d first check the BIOS to see what kind of power/energy savings might
be there…
then i look in the “power management” section … oh wow, i know
nothing about gnome3, and i doubt any good will come of looking in Yast…
sorry…check the BIOS and then wait for a gnome3 guru
(if i thought gnome3 was kinda like KDE i’d suggest Configure Desktop >
Hardware > Power Management and check which profile you are using and
its set time to trigger “Screen Energy Savings” . . . but, i wouldn’t
know where to look on your machine)
