Bug ID: 461124
Summary: Broken icons and fonts when using 2 monitors with
different resolutions via integrated and discrete
graphics card in Arch Linux, xorg
Classification: Plasma
Product: plasmashell
Version: 5.26.0
Platform: Archlinux
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: Multi-screen support
Assignee: plasma-b...@kde.org
Reporter: yekota2...@ilusale.com
CC: aleix...@kde.org, notm...@gmail.com
Target Milestone: 1.0
Flags: X11+
SUMMARY
Broken icons and fonts when using 2 monitors via integrated and discrete
graphics card. First monitor is plugged into VGA output of integrated graphics
card, second monitor is plugged into VGA output of discrete graphics card.
Before upgrading to plasma-desktop 5.26.0-1 in the BIOS was set to load first
(and main) monitor, which is connected to the integrated video card, and the
monitor, which is connected to the discrete load second. Before the upgrade
everything was fine, after upgrading to this version broke icons and fonts:
icons were not displayed, fonts in some places were static, their size did not
change when you change the size in the settings, although it was visible that
the size of the panels changes to the size of the font. The solution was found
after I cleared the `.config`, `.cache` and `.local` folders. It turned out
that for some reason, if the position of the smaller secondary monitor in the
KDE display settings is aligned on top of the main larger monitor, all the
icons disappear and stop rendering, and if aligned to the lower level of the
main monitor, the icons appear back after reboot. But it doesn't fix the fonts.
This behavior was fully corrected only after changing the order of monitors
loading and setting the main monitor to a larger monitor connected to the
discrete video card.
I am using Arch Linux, kernel 6.0.2 (it was the same on LTS), xorg, driver
xf86-video-vesa.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. If you use two monitors on different video cards (discrete and integrated),
set the boot order so that the first and main monitor is the smaller monitor,
which is connected to the integrated graphics card
2. In the KDE display settings, set the position of the first monitor to the
top edge of the larger main monitor
3. reboot
OBSERVED RESULT
Icons will disappear, fonts will break.
EXPECTED RESULT
The same as before the upgrade to 5.26.0.
SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Linux/KDE Plasma: ArchLinux, Linux kernel 6.0.2 and LTS, plasma-desktop
5.26.0-1 (The new version of KDE had the same problem)
