As a workaround, uninstall kscreen, create a shell script (named say xrandr.sh), and put the appropriate xrandr config in it, mine for example is: #! /bin/sh xrandr --noprimary --output DVI-I-2 --left-of DVI-I-1 Go to the KDE system settings, under startup and shutdown, and add this script in the autostart section as "Pre-KDE startup". This will result in your monitors being placed correctly under 5.6.x until you can upgrade to a version with the kscreen bugfix (at that time, remove this script and reinstall the kscreen ebuild).

I upgraded yesterday from 5.7.4 to 5.7.5. I hoped the problem I have had been fixed, but no. If I switch desktops too many times, or too often or something, the desktop becomes unusable until I reboot (I haven't tried just restarting xdm). It flickers rapidly, bits of one desktop are shown in the middle of another or on a blank background, and it's hard to see just which is the currently active desktop. This may be a bad interaction with the xorg-driver for my AMD GPU, which has only been on the market for about a year. Though sys-firmware/amdgpu-ucode hasn't changed since June. -- Rgds Peter
