Hello,

Every time I re-image my computer, I have to frantically search the
internet for this bug report to fix this issue. It is now 5 years after
the initial bug report, and it is still unfixed. Since then, I've
upgraded my CPU and my RAM and swapped out a new video card (still an
AMD but a newer fancier 590 instead of that lowly POS 560). I've also
bought a house, and had 2 children with an option on a third, I've
experienced major life changes, I've laughed, I've cried, and I've
grown. Life is full of changes, some for the better and some for the
worse, but change is inevitable, it's built into the very nature of our
world, but it is good to know that some things never change.

I don't know if I'm the only person on the planet who runs into it, I
don't know what amd.dc=0 means, but to celebrate the release of Plasma 6
I ran this fix again. I hope that, in 2 or 4 or 10 years, if I'm still
using these same monitors, I'll still run into this issue, and this
belief now binds me, grounds me, humbles me, and keeps me oriented. This
bug is my North Star. When I have to re-find this thread in order to
remember what it is I have to do to work around this issue, I know that
the tempest, for a moment, is o'er, and that I am anchored in bug
divine.

Maybe one day I'll learn what amd.dc=0 does, and why it needs to be
added to grub, but it is not this day.

  Booting from GRUB into 4.14.59 allows my two monitors to run at their native 
resolution, 2560x1440. Any newer kernel does not allow my two monitors to run 
at their native resolution, only allowing up to 1920x1200.
