Monitor not coming back after sleep

de flag

Since upgrading to Hippo, my Insignia Fire TV I use as a monitor doesn't come back after sleep even though my LG TV does. I have them as dual monitors extending desktop. Both are HDMI, though the Insignia uses a DVI converter since my video card only has one HDMI port.

Sometimes a reboot is enough to bring it back, sometimes I have to shut down and sometimes I have to pull the power plug (shut flipping the hard power switch isn't enough).

If there is a window on the screen that didn't wake up, I can turn the monitor off and Ubuntu will shift all of the windows to the visible screen, so the system's aware of the monitor on some level.

Output of xrandr:

As suggested by Second external monitor not waking up, tried unplugging the monitor, waiting and plugging back in. still nothing on xrandr.

Any ideas on something to try to force a re-detect?

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
