Bug ID: 372557
Summary: Plasma/XRandR detects not existing monitor
Product: KScreen
Version: 5.8.3
Platform: Archlinux Packages
OS: Linux
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: common
Assignee: se...@kde.org
Reporter: piotr.mierzwin...@gmail.com
Target Milestone: ---
After installation Frameworks 5.27.0 and intel video driver (version mentioned
below) my configuration of monitor extended with new not existing monitor
called "laptop monitor" (code in configuration eDP1). I work on desktop and I
didn't connect any devices to my motherboard (by HDMI or other socket).
Wasn't be so bad only this monitor broke my desktop. All opened windows went to
this desktop. I had to drag them (blindly) to main desktop by Alt+hold left
button of mouse (BTW. Thanks for this great option). Some new windows still
opens on this not visible desktop (for example mplayer). I have installed
desktop pager plasmoid and it thinks that some additional display devices is
connected, because it's shape is a bit flatten, the same I could connect
something by HDMI to my laptop.
I tried to remove the entry describing new not existing display from
configuration file placed in ~/.local/share/kscreen directory. For this purpose
I logged off, switched to text terminal and removed entry from this file and
also removed row "eDP1" from file ~/.config/plasmashellrc in section:
[ScreenConnectors]
0=DP1
1=eDP1
After reboot (run in terminal) and login again to plasma and unwanted entry
back, so also not existing display.
I'm not sure if this is issue made by new intel driver or kscreen.
Software:
Plasma 5.8.3 (kscreen 3.8.3)
xf86-video-intel 1:2.99.917+730+gdad64e9-1
kernel 4.8.8-ARCH
Hardware:
Skylake Intel i7-6700 and graphics HD 530 (GT2)
