Your description of the problem doesn't indicate what kind of system is connected to the HDMI port of the monitor. It may be running Linux, Windows, or something else. Apparently you are trying to switch to issue both ddcutil setvcp x60 commands from the DVI connected computer. There are several things to be aware of.
1) Some monitors will accept DDC commands on any connectors, some will only respond on the currently active input. In the latter case, you need to issue the command to switch inputs from the computer on the currently selected input. e.g. If the second system is Windows, use a program like ClickMonitorDDC.
2) A monitor can deviate from the MCCS specification as to the meaning of Non-Continuous feature values. See for example the descriptions of the Monoprice Dark Matter 40776 or the Samsung U32H750 display in Notes on Specific Monitors. Since getvcp 60 in the interrogate output reports x0f, the specified value for DisplayPort 1, and you are able to switch to the HDMI display using setvcp 60 x12, that does not appear to an issue here, but I mention it for completeness.
3) As to the lockup, I've seen reports of unexpected behaviour on feature x60 for recent monitors, particularly those with a Pcture-By-Picture facility, which feature x60 was not designed to handle. All I can say is "If it hurts, don't do it."
When submitting anything other than brief snippets, please use a separate file of some sort, e.g. as an attachment, a gist, pastebin. Do not inline them it in the message. It makes an issue thread very difficult to follow.
Good luck.
So the above mentioned monitor only switches to HDMI.
If I have it connected to my desktop on DP and switch with:
ddcutil setvcp --bus=12 60 0x12
to HDMI then all is fine.
However if I try to switch back with:
ddcutil setvcp --bus=12 60 0x0f
my monitor goes black for a second and then drops back to HDMI.
From now on it won't respond to the physical buttons for switching anymore either. The behavior is the same. Blanks screen and back to HDMI if I try to switch to DP.
Only resolution now is to disconnect HDMI power cycle the monitor to get control back.
Below is the output of my interrogate command:
