X/HDMI blanking unrecoverable without reboot.

Tue Jan 21, 2014 12:48 pm

I have been running X desktop on Raspbian to a iiama TV (HDMI to DVI input).
Most of the time all is well & I can switch off the TV for a time, and back on, waking the screensaver via keyboard.

However, sometimes the screen stays blank: cycling the inputs doesn't help, the Pi is still working (can login on another tty) but don't know how to resurrect X display.
Any suggestions other than killing process & restarting? Don't want to lose
real-time displayed data.
It has been my custom to use Xeyes
