Bug ID: 419506
Summary: when exiting zandronum multimonitor setup gets screwed
up
Product: kgamma
Version: 5.18.3
Platform: Ubuntu Packages
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: general

journalctl contents for org.kde.KScreen
SUMMARY
When exiting doom game port zandronum (get it here:
https://zandronum.com/download#instubuntu), the multimonitor setup I have is
affected; the resolution used in game is transferred to KDE. All three monitors
are now duplicates as well (they were not before).
Restarting the display-manager does not resolve this.
The only way to recover is to redo all settings via KDE monitor settings.
>From the syslog (via journalctl) I can see that the game uses xrand to change
the resolution. See log in attachment.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. have a multimonitor setup
2. run zandronum, change the video & display settings via its ingame menu
3. exit the game
OBSERVED RESULT
All monitors are equal with the same resolution as within the game.
EXPECTED RESULT
The normal resolution as preconfigured, with separate monitors.
SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Windows:
macOS:
Linux/KDE Plasma: Kubuntu 19.10, with kubuntu-ppa-backports
(available in About System)
KDE Plasma Version: 5.18.3
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.67.0
Qt Version: 5.12.4
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
The game zandronum is no longer being developed so the fix cannot be applied
there.
However, I think no gui program should be able to conflict the windowing system
in this manner, which is why I post this bug here.
