Display won’t wake up from sleep on Fedora 43 KDE (AMD Radeon RX 9070 XT)

Hi everyone,

I hope this isn’t a duplicate — if it is, please let me know.

I’m having an issue where my display doesn’t wake up after sleep on Fedora 43 KDE Edition.

System details:

Fedora version: 43 (KDE Edition)
Kernel: 6.17.7-300.fc43.x86_64
GPU: AMD Radeon RX 9070 XT
- Renderer: AMD Radeon RX 9070 XT (radeonsi, gfx1201, LLVM 21.1.4, DRM 3.64, 6.17.7-300.fc43.x86_64)
CPU: AMD Ryzen 9 9950X3D
RAM: 31,866 MB (~8,536 MB used at time of issue)
Monitors:
- PHL 272E1GJ (DisplayPort)
- PL2888H (HDMI)
- (Sometimes I switch these monitors to receive input from another PC.)

Issue:
When the system wakes from sleep, everything seems to resume normally — the power LED stops blinking (which usually indicates the system is awake), and I can hear/see signs that the system is active.
However, the displays stay black and never come back on.

Workarounds / recovery attempts:

Ctrl + Alt + F3 – F6 opens a working console TTY.
This is currently the best workaround — at least it avoids forcing an ACPI shutdown.
From there, I can cleanly reboot using shutdown -r now.
Forcing a reboot or shutdown also restores the display, but obviously that’s not ideal.
Everything else (USB, keyboard, network, etc.) seems to recover fine after wake.

Has anyone else run into this on Fedora 43 with recent AMD GPUs?
If you need more details (e.g., logs from journalctl or dmesg, kernel parameters, etc.), let me know what would be most helpful and I’ll provide them.

Thanks in advance for any suggestions or debugging tips!

PS: not tested as of yet RDP server, cockpit or ssh login. Caveat: I dont’t know how to enable RDP server or unlock the UI session from the tty console (loginctl what!?).

Problems like this often involve vendor firmware. When reporting an issue, it is useful to provide the output from running inxi -Fzxx in a terminal so others with similar hardware can find your topic. You should also make sure Fedora packages and vendor firmware are fully updated so it is easy for others to reproduce your configuration. There may be vendor forums where you can get help from people familiar with your hardware.

UPDATE: somehow now the problem fixed itself - after an update!?
Maybe it would be useful to see what was updated in the last transaction? However I don’t know how to do that, YET!

Does anyone spot a relevant package on this issue? I ought be nice if we could narrow it down.

I could post earlier transactions, however, at what point would that be considered spam?

Maybe someone could suggest an approved Pastebin service for holding these transaction / logs, pretty please?

I don’t have the time now, will post to Bogdanbiv's Pastebin - Pastebin.com , tomorrow maybe. Fedora FPaste at https://paste.centos.org/ only has 1 day max, that seems weird.
