I have been suffering similar symptoms[1] on a AMD Kaveri APU powered box, running plasma with two monitors, which worsened[2] in the last couple of weeks. All other boxen work fine, so I assumed some Radeon driver issue specific to this machine. [1] For some months now the RH monitor would not acquire the correct resolution. The workaround I came up with, until I have some time to troubleshoot it, was to go into SystemSettings/Display, disable the RH monitor and then re-enable it. This process is more painful than it sounds, because clicking on Plasma desktop GUI menus does not update the screen. I have to drop into a console and back to Alt+F7 before I can see the output of whatever I had clicked on. Interestingly, Plasma-Wayland worked fine, both monitors came up with the correct resolution. [2] Last week's update broke both xorg and wayland. Plasma crashes when launched and partially recovers. I glanced at the errors and it seems to be related to some Qt library. Again, I haven't troubleshooted it further. Not sure if this helps, but would be interested to try in whatever fix you may come up with.
