Screen goes blank after wake from sleep or lock on Fedora 34

The screen back lights turn on but the screen remains blank after wake from sleep or lock.

I installed the KDE plasma DE and then the problem started happening on logout. I uninstalled it but it didn’t help.

If I lock and prevent the screen from turning off, I am able to prevent the problem.

I don’t know where to begin debugging the problem or the specific keywords to search for this. I am a relatively new Linux user.

Any help or leads here would be appreciated. I am happy to provide further details or log output as needed.

Please no “me too” reponses unless you’re adding meaningful information like log outputs, relevant files, drivers, etc.

Came here to post this, same issue.
I installed openbox but I think I had that problem before installing it.

I have a similar problem. The problem appears when working through Display port, but it is not if the monitor is connected through HDMI.

I tried changing grub (grub2) settings to add nomodeset in the options. It fixed the issue around blank screens but my computer started being a bit slower. I’m not sure why. I removed that option for now.
