            Bug ID: 365756
           Summary: Cannot enable secondary output using PRIME before
                    running "xrandr --auto"
           Product: plasmashell
           Version: 5.7.1
          Platform: Archlinux Packages
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: minor
          Priority: NOR
         Component: Multi-screen support
          Assignee: aleix...@kde.org
          Reporter: isma.ca...@gmail.com

My system has two GPUs, a Radeon 290x (Hawaii chip, using the radeon-si driver)
and an Intel HD2500 (Ivy Bridge). The Radeon is the main card, but I use Prime
to connect a secondary monitor because the Radeon lacks VGA output.

KDE cannot enable the VGA output until I run "xrandr --auto". Before running
that, the output appears correctly in the Display Configuration dialog, but
setting Enabled and pressing Apply does nothing.

Running "xrandr --auto" sets the secondary display as a mirror of the main one.
After that, setting the display configuration in the dialog works perfectly. I
have it working as extended desktop.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Enable Prime offloading (xrandr --setprovideroutputsource Intel "HAWAII @
pci:0000:01:00.0")
2. Try to enable the VGA output of the Intel GPU.


Actual Results:  
Nothing happens

Expected Results:  
It should enable the VGA output in the Intel GPU and set it up following the
configuration.

I used this documentation to configure the Prime setup:
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/PRIME#Discrete_Card_as_Primary_GPU

xrandr output when everything is working well: https://paste.kde.org/p1umpuc50
