Hello! This bug report was filed for KDE Plasma 4, which reached end-of-support status in August 2015. KDE Plasma 5's desktop shell has been almost completely rewritten for better performance and usability, so it is likely that this bug is already resolved in Plasma 5. Accordingly, we hope you understand why we must close this bug report. If the issue described here is still present in KDE Plasma 5.12 or later, please feel free to open a new ticket in the "plasmashell" product after reading https://community.kde.org/Get_Involved/Bug_Reporting If you would like to get involved in KDE's bug triaging effort so that future mass bug closes like this are less likely, please read https://community.kde.org/Get_Involved#Bug_Triaging Thanks for your understanding!

Hello, I am using an HP Pavilion Dv6 laptop with an AMD graphics card and the proprietary Catalyst fglrx drivers. To ensure that fglrx can work under a multi-monitor setup I am required to add the following to xorg.conf: Section "Screen" Identifier "Screen0" Device "Card0" Monitor "Monitor0" DefaultDepth 24 SubSection "Display" Viewport 0 0 Depth 24 # Should not change from '24' Virtual 3840 1920 ## (x+64, y) to workaround potential OGL rect. artifacts/ EndSubSection ## fixed in Catalyst 9.8 EndSecti The virtual line enables support for the multi-monitor setup. Plasma, however does adjust its width when the external monitor is unplugged. Interestingly this issue does not occur under Ubuntu with compiz/unity. Unfortunately the use of the proprietary drivers is required due to graphic intensive tasks that are undertaken. Please advise if you require any further information. Thanks, Alex Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install fglrx drivers 2. Unplug external monitor 3. Actual Results: Plasma does not adjust to the change in resolution or screens. Expected Results: Plasma to resize itself as required.
