Describe your issue / feature…
Hello friends. First post here though I’ve been a happy Hyprland user for a while.
Inquiry:
I have a 3xMonitor setup. When hyprlock is launched while one of the monitors is in a “soft off” state (like after issuing “hyprctl dispatch dpms off DP-2” [or any monitor]) it displays a black screen. It doesn’t crash or anything and I can unlock it by typing my password though I don’t have any visual feedback. If a monitor is “hard off” (via the power button) it has no trouble. I did notice this output from hyprlock when the problem happens:

This line particulary:

…doesn’t happen when all the monitors are on and it works fine. So I tried it with no screenshot or image as background and even tried commenting out the background and animation blocks. Nothing seems to change the result.

The monitor portion of my hyprland.conf is pretty simple:
hyprland.conf
...
monitor = DP-1, [email protected], 840x1440, 1
monitor = DP-2, 2560x1440@100, 0x0, 1
monitor = DP-3, 2560x1440@100, 2560x0, 1
# Electron based apps use X11 as default, auto should detect wayland
env = ELECTRON_OZONE_PLATFORM_HINT, auto
...
Thanks for any insight!
Cheers!
