Bug ID: 410674
Summary: Had to delete configs in order to use my laptop
display
Product: KScreen
Version: 5.16.3
Platform: openSUSE RPMs
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: common
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
Hello,
KScreen made me a config file that permanently disables my laptop display
unless I actually delete a particular config file in "~/.local/share/kscreen".
Unless I delete this config file, my external display works fine but my laptop
display stays black. I have NEVER edited this file by hand.
I am not sure if this is a one time thing or an actual bug, so I am filing this
bug report. Of course deleting the file fixes everything. I had the same setup
for a few releases. I extend the display upwards as my external monitor is
above my laptop display.
KScreen config file:

https://forums.opensuse.org/showthread.php/537013-Display-Laptop-display-does-not-work-in-Kwin-Wayland?p=2910338#post2910338
I have other KScreen config files but deleting them shows no effect that I can
notice.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Restore bad config file
2. Log out
3. Log in
OBSERVED RESULT
Laptop display is disabled. If I try to renable it using the Display module in
System Settings, both displays either go black or just show three periods
("...").
EXPECTED RESULT
Display extended upwards.
