Bug ID: 479874
Summary: Inconsistency in monitor identification potentially
causing configurations to not apply correctly
Classification: Plasma
Product: KScreen
Version: 5.92.0
Platform: Arch Linux
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: minor
Priority: NOR
Component: common
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Target Milestone: ---
Every time I launch Plasma with my external monitor plugged in, I get the
standard popup for positioning new monitors. Regardless of which option I
select it will only ever extend to the right. Trying to configure the monitor
layout from Kscreen does work, but only until plasma is relaunched or the
monitor is unplugged and replugged, at which point it acts as if the monitor
has never been configured before. This behavior first occurred in Plasma 6 Beta
1.
When in Kscreen, the secondary display is labelled "Panascope Pixio PX248P",
however when clicking the "Identify" button, the label on my external monitor
shows as "HDMI-A-1-unknown". I don't recall this behavior being present prior
to Plasma 6 Beta 1.
I suspect this disparity in how the monitor is being identified is leading to
situations where the Kscreen config isn't applying correctly.
