Bug ID: 356818
Summary: Provide support for configuring custom modeline for
each monitor
Product: KScreen
Version: 5.5.1
Platform: Archlinux Packages
OS: Linux
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: wishlist
Priority: NOR
Component: common
Assignee: dvra...@kde.org
Reporter: mikhail-bugs-kde-...@khvoinitsky.org
My problem:
I use a laptop with two monitors:
* 2560x1440@60Hz at home
* 1920x1200@60Hz at work
(so, only one monitor at the time)
Unfortunately, laptop's video adapter do not support 2560x1440@60Hz monitors so
the maximum resolution I can set up for the home monitor is 2048x1152@60Hz.
However, I can generate a custom modeline with reduced refresh rate but with
full resolution. To make it permanent I can write Xorg's config file like this:
Section "Monitor"
Identifier "HDMI1"
ModeLine "2560x1440_50.00_rb" 200.25 2560 2608 2640 2720 1440
1443 1448 1474 +HSync -Vsync
Option "PreferredMode" "2560x1440_50.00_rb"
EndSection
The problem is that Xorg have no way to apply this options only for certain
monitor (neither by serial nor by something else) (that means that I will have
good configuration at home but completely broken at work). The only way
available to filter monitors is by port (option 'Identifier
"HDMI1"') but it do not suits my needs.
Even worse, after applying such kind of a config, kscreen sometimes stops
distinguish monitors.
So, it will be very useful to have some way to do fix that. One of the options
could be launching a user script after connecting a monitor before kscreen
apply his configuration.
Reproducible: Always
