dmesg output

After using the tv-out connector I'm unable to turn my second monitor back on again.

I'm aware that I have to turn off the tv-out connector first and did so.

There's no error message etc. neither in dmesg or xrandr output - except it just doesn't work.

Restarting X does not help, the only way to get the second monitor back is a complete restart. This is VERY annoying.

slightly redundant, I just wanted to show that there are no error messages and that xrandr states the monitor to be on and working.
