Let's try to avoid confusion, this is a KDE bug, not a video driver bug. I
don't say switching to modesetting didn't helped you (especially for Skylake
many distros are switching to modesetting over intel, including Fedora 24 which
uses modesetting only by default), but the black screen issue might have been a
fluke.

It has also been officially confirmed that Plasma releases before 5.7 has
sup-par multi screen support. The first system change a user might attempt to
fix this problem should be trying Plasma 5.8, not messing with the video driver
(it's messy, a lot of time is usually needed and here it's not the most likely
cause). See also
https://vizzzion.org/blog/2016/09/lts-releases-align-neatly-for-plasma-5-8/ and
let me quote Sebastian Kügler's comment "Especially support for multi-screen
systems in 5.7 is sub-par, those users would really benefit from getting Plasma
5.8."
