--- Comment #14 from Syiad <syiad.al-d...@web.de> --- Yes, the external monitor is connected via DisplayPort to a Dell D6000 docking station. The docking station connects using the DisplayLink USB 5.5.0-59.151 driver. If I connect the external monitor directly via HDMI several things happen: 1. It is correctly identified by its name 2. [ScreenConnectors] in plasmashellrc now has a new entry "2=DP-3". The other entries are "0=eDP-1", the primary display and "1=DVI-I-1" the external monitor via docking station. 3. The resolution of the external monitor is limited to Full HD (1920 x 1080) or lower, while the actual max capability of the monitor is 2560 x 1440. The max resolution is not on offer in the KDE screen settings. This makes it the same height as the primary, which is 3840 x 2160 @ 200% 4. The wallpaper and widgets on the primary are now still as set up after a restart with the second monitor connected via HDMI 5. The external monitor was placed to the left of the primary when I hotplugged it via HDMI. After restart (still connected via HDMI) it is to the right of the primary. So a workaround may be to start the laptop undocked, then connect the docking station with the external monitor connected via DisplayPort (to get the full resolution), then restart plasmashell to fix the primary screen contents being moved to the top left quarter of the primary screen. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
