KDE: When using multiple monitors, being able to configure their relative position on start up. Right now, it just does who knows what, but they’re out of order. Also, I only need 1 logon screen in total, not one in each monitor…that happen to be out of order anyway.
Never quite understood this complaint tbh. I use Windows at work and I find the blanked out screens look weirder than just having the login screen everywhere
I wouldn’t care about something showing on all monitors, if it wasn’t that it somehow insists on focusing the wrong monitor altogether. I have a stacked setup (2x23" on top, single 34" UW on the bottom) and it keeps focusing my top right monitor. Right now it just kind of throws its hands in the air and goes “welp, here’s three times the exact same clock and set of inputs, figure it out yourself” and that’s it.
It’s just slightly confusing because (1) I don’t know what screen the cursor is on, and (2) since they’re out of order, trying to use a specific one is a little confusing.

I thought this was fixed in the more recent versions by remembering placement based on hardware ID.
This seems a problem for the login manager and kernel framebuffer before plasma/kwin even gets involved.
Ah, I see. I heard SDDM is going to be getting some attention soon so hopefully they can bring it up to speed with the rest of Plasma.
I’ve never had this problem. At least not with my Thinkpads (T480 and W540). But I never used the nvidia card on them.
Yep, I’m using an NVidia GPU

I think this was fixed on Plasma 5.27.x onwards. There was major rewrite of display configuration handling, that fixed these issued for me at least.
