I have one monitor that I use for both my PC (via VGA) and my Linux machine (via DVI). I just use it for one computer at a time, by pulling out the not needed cable and plugging in the required one.

But when I unplug the DVI, after starting Linux, and then plug it back in, I just get a black screen and I have to reboot the Linux machine to get anything to happen.

How can I get it to work properly? ( I don't get this issue reconnecting to my Windows PC)

Go to

Switch "Turn screen off when inactive for" to "Never"

Never switch off

For Xubuntu :

Go to "Power Manager"
Tab "On AC"
Tab "Monitor".
Set "Switch off display when computer is inactive" to never
