Is this a "known issue" that buying a copy of 3.5.7 will fix? I assume it is a bundled driver issue. This card takes the 390 NVIDIA driver. The GT 630 uses the 470. I assume Image is using a "generic" driver and maybe and updated one needs to be used.
When I boot Linux "live" disks, display can "go to sleep" and wake up just fine.
The other issue it could be, and I cannot "fix" is perhaps Image is putting USB ports to sleep it thinks are idle. I ran into this with Windows 10 on this machine. It would put the USB ports to sleep when it blanked the monitor. You couldn't wake it up because both the keyboard and mouse are USB. This is from the era when we all still used PS/2. In fact, when it is not hooked up this way I use PS/2 devices on it.
Is there a way to turn off all "power saving" when booting Image? That would be a good first step in diagnosing this.
Thanks,
Roland
