Bug ID: 403495
Summary: screen configuration lost after xorg driver switch
Product: plasmashell
Version: 5.14.3
Platform: Debian unstable
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: Multi-screen support
Assignee: aleix...@kde.org
Reporter: kde-b...@ginguppin.de
CC: plasma-b...@kde.org
Target Milestone: 1.0
SUMMARY
go a setup with two screens, both configured differently (panels, folder view).
after switching Xorg driver from nouveau to nvidia, the left/second screen had
the configuration of the right/first, and the right/first screen had neither
panel nor configured wallpaper anmyore.
the config of the left/second screen is inaccessible, but in the "add widgets"
I see the widgets of that screen as still in use (counter label shows), but I
can't neither access nor delete them.
I'm not quite sure, but the identifiers shown in
System Settings -> Display and Monitor -> Displays
now are DP-4 and DP-5 whereas IIRC before they were something with -1 and -2.
Nevertheless, that shouldn't cause such an issue.
Even after switching the Xorg driver there are still two screens in the same
position to each other, so whatever happened the configuration of "left screen"
and "right screen" should not change suddenly, whatever the identifier.
EDIT: while looking at the System Settings' section, I notice that there's a
DP-3 shown as inactive. Now, where does that come from?
EDIT 2: Switching Primary display makes the screen configuration switch screens
suddenly (left config w/ panel and folder view suddenly right and vice versa).
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. switch Xorg driver (from nouveau to nvidia)
2. log back in
3.
OBSERVED RESULT
screen configuration messed up, for the left screen beyond access, for the
right moved now to the left, and the right now completely w/o panels etc
EXPECTED RESULT
left screen and right screen should stay as they were before -- after all, only
the Xorg driver changed which is for below plasmashell and should not affect
the screen configuration in a DM
