Xfce 4.12 more sleep, HDMI issues.

Hi

I did enable the testing Repo to try out 4.12 with a new Arch Install, it was nice to use the HiDPI windows themes on a 55 inch TV.

I also had sleep issues, or rather HDMI handshaking issues, I have both an LG TV and Amp, the Amp powers down with no activity whether you select no power off or not, this is not an issue with other distros, but with Xfce and 4.12, the screen never wakes up and you have to break out in to tty, log in and reboot. Tried messing with Power manager, no power manager you name it, but as soon as the Amp went off, and you switched it back on again, screen would not wake up.

I rolled back to 4.10 and all was well again. So it is not a graphics driver, kernel or any other Arch/Setup thing, as far as I can see.

Re: Xfce 4.12 more sleep, HDMI issues.

Thank you.

I will see if I get a reply on how to install the patch from comment 29 and try that fix.
