Bug ID: 396711
Summary: Feature request: disable display hotplug (KWin
Wayland)
Product: kwin
Version: 5.13.3
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: wishlist
Priority: NOR
Component: wayland-generic
Assignee: kwin-bugs-n...@kde.org
Reporter: preca...@gmail.com
Target Milestone: ---
Let me start by explaining that i know it's not a bug, but i didn't know where
to post this feature request and the forum didn't seem like the best place to
do it.
I have a dual-monitor setup and i use my primary monitor both for my host os
(Arch Linux) and my guest oses (Like Win10 for gaming, Fedora for debugging
etc) to which i pass through my discrete graphics card.
Why do i want to disable the hotplug? Because as soon as i change inputs on my
monitor, the desktop rearranges, panels go missing and Windows don't respond no
more to the Icons Only task bar that shows only the task from the current
screen even they are on the same screen as the taskbar. To go back to the
previous state not only i have to switch back inputs but also restart the
session.
On X11 this was possible by adding the Option "HotPlug" "false" to the Xorg
conf.
I know this is a very niche feature and i don't ask for it to be brought
upstream, a patch would be more than enough and very appreciated.
