[KScreen] [Bug 355528] Multiple monitor support is erratic
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=355528 --- Comment #15 from michael.mcter...@gmail.com --- For anyone finding this bug, the following comments from KDE developer 'sebas' may be of interest: https://lwn.net/Articles/668712/ It sounds like we have to wait for Wayland for a fix. I personally now use LXDE. While not entirely automatic, I can configure the screens and the panel exactly as I want in about 30 seconds when changing configs. I don't miss much of the extra fluff and eye-candy KDE brought and still use some of the KDE applications (mainly Kate). -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.

https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=355528 --- Comment #13 from Nick Cross --- Interesting ; I've found that calling "kscreen-console bug" often makes it pick up the extra display and turn it on. My scenario is the laptop is suspended, I wake it up, plugin it into the dock and connect the second monitor to the laptop's display port (not the docks). By calling kscreen-console, then restarting plasmashell it seems work around it, -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.

https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=355528 --- Comment #12 from aappdde...@gmail.com --- I have discovered recently that under some scenarios where I am unable to project or connect to an external monitor because the monitor does not physically show up in Display Settings, that running xrandr (f23) someone allows the Display Settings to pick up the change in the physical external display. So together, restarting plasmashell and/or running xrandr, I have a complete workaround to all the different variations of issues that I run into around multi-monitor/projector support. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.

https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=355528 --- Comment #11 from Murat Ursavaş --- Please don't go that harsh on devs. There is a regression, no denial of that. But the main responsible might not be the KDE devs. Take a look at Martin's blog post: https://blog.martin-graesslin.com/blog/2015/10/some-thoughts-on-the-quality-of-plasma-5/ This could be a regression due to Qt 4 to 5 switch. Let's see what will happen on Feb (Qt 5.6 will be released). -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.

And another one - sometimes, after laptop was shut down with dual-monitor config, it disables build in display after loging in when powered on again with no external screen attached. I have to delete kscreen config files to make it work again. System version - Arch linux. kscreen 5.5.3 plasma-desktop 5.5.3 -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.

https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=355528 --- Comment #6 from Murat Ursavaş --- Unfortunately dealing with drivers didn't help. I've installed some missing display drivers and the behavior is still there. And this time I got the app launcher in the wrong place (vertical offset). Switching to VT's didn't help at all. I had to press to the display switch button of the laptop to enable or disable plugged screens. I guess, for my particular case, Plasma 5.5.2 is not stable enough. I'll wait and see what happens, because KDE Plasma is my best DE by far. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.

https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=355528 Murat Ursavaş changed: What|Removed |Added CC||murat.ursa...@gmail.com --- Comment #5 from Murat Ursavaş --- I can confirm all of the mentioned behavior including this one: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=353975. And additionally I've seen that the Application Launcher had different setup than mine (The favorites). I guess it was launching again in the test and was using another configuration (I don't know how, since I'm the only user. Maybe root.) My setup is Arch + Plasma 5.5.2. P.S: After reading Martin's blog, I guess these issues could persist even the plasma switches to 5.6. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
