Hi. 

I had some display issues on a 3 display setup. I trouble shooted this issue by
trying different combinations of displays, DP and HDMI outputs, cables etc.
This lead to strange issues as KDE built up different configurations. At some
point, one combination would keep one or two displays from turning on,
depending on the combi. Another combination would restrict one of the screens
from going higher than 800x600 resolution. I fixed all of these issues by
removing the ~/.local/share/kscreen folder and rebooting. 

I am guessing that this is a symptom of KDE's ability to remember different
screen layouts, which is fine. It took a lot of different combination attempts
on my part to produce this issue. I also knew with a certainty what was the
cause of this issue, but had to do some online search to locate the config
folder in order to delete it. If this issue occurred to a user with limited
knowledge, they would properly not be able to fix this without a re-install.
Maybe there should be something in settings to reset all of the saved display
configurations?
