            Bug ID: 440309
           Summary: Request: add functionality to test diplay settings
                    before applying them
           Product: systemsettings
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Other
                OS: Linux
            Status: REPORTED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
          Assignee: plasma-b...@kde.org
          Reporter: david.cortes.riv...@gmail.com
  Target Milestone: ---

Would be helpful if the "Display Settings" section (the one where one can
configure screen resolution and related stuff) would have a button to test the
changes before applying them, in the same way as e.g. MS windows - that is, one
sets a new display setting (e.g. testing a different screen and resolution),
clicks "test", it changes to the new settings for 5 seconds or so, and then
comes back to the old setting.

This would be especially helpful in settings in which some change could result
in an invalid display that does not allow visual cues to revert - for example,
in my own setup, if I try to switch to a laptop screen after another screen is
already running on HDMI, it shows only random noise on the screen, so I cannot
click back on 'reset' to change the settings (this is a mesa bug so unrelated).
