Bug ID: 470107
Summary: plasma brightness control should have settings for
each monitor connected
Classification: Plasma
Product: plasmashell
Version: 5.27.2
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: plasma-b...@kde.org
Reporter: slartibar...@gmail.com
CC: k...@davidedmundson.co.uk
Target Milestone: 1.0
Laptop screen and connected 4K (DP) monitor
Problem:
"Battery and Brightness" in systemtray only shows one brightness slider (which
controls the laptop monitor exclusively)
The second dp-connected monitor is not taken into account/does not react on the
slider settings
I had the problem, that plasma was darkening the laptop screen to 'nearly
unreadable' and the brightness control now was acting only(!) on the
dp-connected monitor??
The only way to fix this was disconnecting the 2nd monitor, wait a bit, set
brightness for the laptop, reconnect 2nd monitor.
I think, this could easily be addressed by having as much brightness-controls
as we have monitors connected?
ddcutil sadly only controls the 2nd screen, i cannot set the brightness on
laptop screen (so i rely on plasma for doing that)
Any chance to have this added?
(as seen in the error above, plasma is capable of controlling a 2nd screen -
but does not offer this in the settings?)
