Read your blog post and tried the command there: % QT_LOGGING_RULES='powerdevil=true' /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libexec/ org_kde_powerdevil gave no output whatsoever. However as I am using the "modesetting" driver I bet it won't use XRandR. Also that is on Debian Sid where KDE Frameworks currently is still at 5.62. Sandro works on 5.70 currently. ThinkPad T520 with Intel Sandybridge graphics. Best, -- Martin
