--- Comment #43 from OlafLostViking <olaf.the.lost.vik...@gmail.com> --- (In reply to Sebastian Kügler from comment #42) > That means that if you log into a fresh session, we don't do anything on > login wrt screen setup. We expect the system to be set up. Oh, I'm sorry, now I understand! As I'm currently having so many problems with Plasma and multiscreen I totally forgot about that possibility of changing screens ;-D. Since I cannot remember seeing a messed up resolution with native modesetting in SDDM (poulsbo doesn't count...), I agree with you on real hardware. Getting things like rotated screens/orientation of tablets etc. over DDC or whatever tablets are using is probably too much to ask for now ;-). > With the current state, we now detect if the current resolution goes away, > and we react to that by modesetting the new preferred resolution. So if you > log in to a fresh vm, the login manager (or X startup) has to take care of > that, to avoid unnecessary mode changes. Adapting to a changing preferred resolution is basically the most important thing. I just retried it (Neon is great for this!) and it still won't adapt until I manually adapted the resolution in kscreen at least once (just as you described). To _always_ switch to the preferred resolution (as long as the setting to always use preferred mode is active [f.ex. by some administrative or /etc/skel file entry - you do not necessaryily have to had a session running to have non-default settings]) could also be an alternative in the case of VMs, where SDDM doesn't set the correct resolution for now. Just think about automatically started fullscreen VMs at some kind of kiosk. On the other hand I understand that this should be the display manager's job... :-/ I'll try to play around with it a little bit. Perhaps there's another solution. > The move from projector problem, I'm not sure I understand. Sorry, I didn't make myself very clear. And after typing up a looong paragraph explaining it, I realized this would open up pandorra's box. So for now I'd say ignore what I said at this point ;-) > I like the idea of making the preferred mode more prominent, or logical in > the UI, I'll give that some more consideration.

And if you're redesigning, please prevent the screen "icons" jump around as soon as you enable them - setting up a huge mulit-monitor setup on a low resolution notebook screen is a horror *duck and run* ;-D -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
