Bug 300748

Every time when I come home and plug my external monitor into my notebook, I have to start the KDE display settings in order that the monitor gets activated. This is a waste of time!

It would be so nice if KDE would check, when I close the lid of my notebook, if an external monitor is available. In case this is the fact, KDE would activate the external monitor (or run a shell script where I could define this mechanism).

Reproducible: Always




A scenario example:

I come home and my notebook is in the sleep state. After plugging in all wires (keyboard, mouse, monitor, ...) in my notebook (or connecting it to the docking station), I open the lid to wake it up. Short after that, I close the lid of the notebook in order that my external monitor gets alive and I can login on the external monitor screen.

Only two physical interactions rather than severals (login, start display settings, configure monitor, ...).
