I've asked before, but does anyone know how to configure GDM/Gnome to ignore my monitors searching for Inputs? The OSD setting for the displays doesn't work (it has a setting that does nothing) and when all 3 of them start searching for inputs when Windows/Linux tries to turn off the displays, they end up sending some signal that Gnome/GDM interprets as input relevant to unsleeping the displays. So the displays can never turn off on their own, without my own manual intervention.

On their own, at best they end up on a black screen but on; With GDM/Gnome being unaware that the monitors are getting a signal as far as I can tell. (Some sort of race condition here maybe?)

Plugged in using DisplayPort to an EVGA RTX 3070 using the latest official nVidia Driver.

I bought the requisite switchbox about 13 years ago, and finally today found and ordered a clean looking SM124 paper-white monochrome CRT monitor for the Atari 520ST, from eBay. (Shipping in original box with original foam, so it seems possible it will survive the trip across the U.S.) (Knock on wood)

It looks like there's JUST enough room atop this A520 STation to fit them both, if I move the HxX2001 into one of the (disconnected) drives' spots in the stand.

I had both an SC1224 and an SM124 on my original 520ST setup back in 1987.

Will post some pics when it's all setup.

Here’s Everything You Can Do With the Ports on Your Monitor

There is more to life than just HDMI, that’s for sure. It is well worth reading this linked article before buying any new monitor or graphics card.

Okay what's a good cheap to mid range gaming monitor? Thinking 1440p 120/144hz, 16:9

Can't break the bank this time like when I got my Samsung Odyessy, but I want it to be reasonably good. But probably more work than gaming until I can build a new PC which might not be soon
