--- Comment #17 from Alex <a...@laxu.de> --- I think I test it later completely new. I have reset the corresponding config, played with other monitor setups in the meantime and mostly used the workaround to move around desktops while the third screen is connected. One thing I noticed: In the KDE monitor settings, the DVI-Device keeps the name of a previous device that was connected to the port. I wonder if KDE tries to identify devices by their name instead of the port. And from my current plasmashellrc: [ScreenConnectors] 0=DP-3 1=HDMI-1 2=HDMI-0 3=HDMI-A-2 4=HDMI-A-1 My current graphics card has 2x DisplayPort and 2x HDMI and I use Displayport to HDMI cables and a HDMI to DVI cable. The device that I often remove is a graphics tablet with HDMI port. In the old config there was more chaos as I had to use a DisplayLink adapter that creates a bunch of virtual video devices. When I now open up the dialog, I see six screens: - DP-3 (primary) - HDMI- - disconnected screen 0 (grey box) - disconnected screen 3 (background and panel) - disconnected screen 4 (background only) - disconnected screen 5 (grey box) HDMI-1 and disconnected 3 sometimes swap places when activating an additional screen, but sometimes it may just be as it is when the display configuration changes. That's why I think it may be an idea to allow to swap everything (I may open a bug for that later, too) so one can just rearrrange the screens correctly. I also use a Nvidia card and the configuration via nvidia-settings and KDE monitor settings do not always look completely the same. I wonder what tool I should prefer for arranging screens (as in where the mouse goes when I move it over the screen edge). I guess there are a lot of places where the confustion about screen arrangements can come from. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
