Created attachment 123610 [details]
annotated dmesg

My monitor does not consistently enter suspend/power save mode.  It does work about 50% of the time, but the other half it just stays on.  This is true if I use the xfce4 powermanager to send the monitor to sleep OR if I manually issue `xset dpms force standby` from the shell.

Attached is the dmesg output booting with the debug kernel flag (drm.debug=14) set.  I have annotated it showing when I attempted to suspend the monitor and when it succeeded and failed.

CPU: i7-4790k (haswell) using onboard video out via HDMI
Motherboard: MSI Z97
Monitor: ASUS PB278 connected via HDMI

Distro: Arch Linux
Kernel: v4.5.3
Video drivers: xf86-video-intel 1:2.99.917+645+g88733a7-1

I tried kernel v4.6rc7 and this problem is present there as well.

This bug seems to affect the Z97 or Haswell chipset/chip.  I have access to a Z77 Motherboard using an Ivybridge with integrated graphics as well connected via HDMI.  On that machine, the monitor suspends as expected.

We seem to have neglected the bug quite a bit, apologies.

John, since there has been quite a lot improvements pushed in kernel that will benefit to your system, please re-test with latest kernel and mark as REOPENED if you can reproduce (and attach kernel log) and RESOLVED/* if you cannot reproduce.

based on the lack of activity this bug will be closed... please if the problem is reproducible with latest configuration open a new bug including logs.
