The problem is that the none of the monitors get turned off after 5 minutes. Well, they do, but let me explain:
-After 5 mins both screens turn off.
-Second screen launches (external) launches "No signal" sort of screensaver after 1 second.
-Somehow, Linux recognizes this as some sort of input, and both screens turn on again.
So I'm in this loop where every 5 mins the screens turn off for 2 seconds and then turn on back again. The most annoying thing is that "turning off" the second screen behaves as unplugging it, so all my windows on the second screen are sent back to the main as well as the icons, that get rearranged on the main screen.
On windows, this setup was working as expected, and I've read the second screen (LG) user guide manual looking for something useful but in vain.
Thanks!
