As mentioned in the subject, when Gnome power saving kicks in switching the screen to blank, it does not recover back.

Moving the mouse or pressing the keys do not bring the screen up again. This does not happen with the NVIDIA drivers, only with Nouveau.

Kernel: 4.13.7-1
xf86-video-nouveau 1.0.15-2
gnome-shell 3.26.1+3+g43ec5280b-1
mesa 17.2.2-1

Attached are the journal entries from the moment the laptop switched off the screen until I tried to bring it back up, you'll see I tried changing its brightness (but then again brightness control doesn't work anyway as you can see in  https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=196931 )

Thanks!

I wont recommend using/keeping the GP106 (GTX 1060). It cant ever run with free software: https://www.theregister.co.uk/2015/04/15/nvidia_gtx_900_linux_driver_roadbloack/

Sell this crappy GP102 card away and go away from nvidia. Nvidia died with the 780ti card. Its the last end-user card that can be used normaly. Everything else is in some countries even a legal problem. Because the manufacturer (nvidia) blocks the users from beeing able to boot the software they want on THEIR hardware - happyly illegal in some countries. Hopefully some layer would sue the heck out of nvidia so that they would have to release the private signing key or close their doors.
Blocking the freedom of the users on such way should not be accepted by anyone.
