Wired mouse and keyboard stop working when monitor turns off

Post by Phoenix2683 »

Linux Mint 19 Cinnamon
Kernel 4.19.1-041901-generic

Steelseries keyboard and mouse, both wired.

It doesn't happen all the time, but sometimes when the monitor turns off it won't wake up with the keyboard/mouse and the lights are off on both. The only way to get the computer up again is a restart.

suspend/hibernate are off, only thing on is 30 min screen shutoff.
