--- Comment #24 from Sergio <sergio.calleg...@gmail.com> --- At this point, almost two years after the original report and many proud articles such as https://lwn.net/Articles/694157/ all the issues are still there. If you have a laptop, and you attach it to an external screen, then close the lid and suspend the laptop, then detach the connectors, when you eventually attach an external screen again, kscreen ends up thinking that you re-attached the former monitor. This is quite evident as the UI with the Display and Monitor Settings *name* the monitor and you get the former name. For instance if you were initially attached to a Samsung monitor, you suspend the laptop, detach the connector, work with your laptop, then one day attach a Dell monitor, kscreen identifies it as Samsung and applies the settings for the Samsung monitor. This is very bad. On some occasions with the external monitor you have the laptop screen disabled. Then, one day you need to give a presentation, you attach the projector, kscreen thinks it is the external monitor, switches off your laptop display and provides to the projector some resolution that it can't support. Et voilà, you are with no working screen at all in front of your audience. So, at this point the question is: is there a way to run plasma without the full kscreen support? I.e. only having the minimal assurance that when an external monitor is detached the display permanently goes back to the main laptop screen, with kscreen not trying to (incorrectly) guess how it should configure the screens? -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
