drm_info while issue is present.

In case it helps, here's a diff against the output after the screen is back on:

Okay, I think we'll need a drm debug log of KWin trying to turn the display on. https://invent.kde.org/plasma/kwin/-/wikis/Debugging/Debugging-DRM-issues explains how to do that; ideally you should enable the logging through ssh and then trigger KWin to enable the display by moving the mouse or pressing some key, and then stop the logging again.

Sorry for the delay! Please find the log in the attachment.

Thank you for your help in troubleshooting this!

Hmm, that's a bit confusing - that log shows it working normally. There are two failed test commits, which aren't entirely unexpected though, and afterwards it presents to the display normally.

I think I'm encountering this same bug.  I'm on:
CachyOS 24.12
KDE Plasma Version: 6.5.3
KDE Frameworks Version: 6.20.0
Qt Version: 6.10.1
Kernel Version: 6.18.0-3-cachyos (64-bit)
Graphics Platform: Wayland
Graphics Processor: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070

I have 2 monitors.  The primary is set to 144.06hz and the smaller is set to 59.91hz.  If I turn the primary one off (using the button on the bottom of the monitor), then turn it back on, it does not come back on, (and mentions that it has no input as if the cable is disconnected.) Moving the mouse or hitting a key on the keyboard does not bring it back, (but the computer has not crashed, I see the input on the 2nd monitor.) The smaller monitor does flash as if re-setting what windows go on what monitors and what backgrounds to use at this point, but that doesn't bring the primary monitor back.

If I unplug the primary one while it's turned on and reconnect it, it comes back up no problem.

If I turn off the primary monitor, turn it back on, unplug it and reconnect it, it comes back up.

If I unplug the secondary monitor while the primary one is in the broken state, the primary ones comes back.

If I start with the secondary monitor unplugged, turn off the primary one, turn it back on, then plug in the secondary one it fixes the primary one.

If I set the primary monitor to 60hz then it can be turned off and back on without issue.

If I set the primary monitor to 120hz it has the same problems as the 144.06hz configuration.

If I hit ctrl-alt-f2 when the monitor is in the broken state it comes back up, (and remains up if I switch back to ctrl-alt-f1.)

I don't seem to have drm_info installed. Would it be useful at this point to install it to get you it's output?  Is there any other debugging info that would help track down this bug?
