Description Alexander Nestorov 2015-02-07 18:31:37 UTC 
I have a dual GPU set (not in SLI) and "xrandr --listproviders" is showing both of them, but KDE's monitors kcm module isn't showing more than 2 displays (from 1 GPU).

See here: http://imagebin.ca/v/1qrN2LnYf6HR

Also, note that when I do a screenshot, ksnapshot does see all 4 monitors somehow: http://imagebin.ca/v/1qrN72A3C8hm

but:
a) I can't see them, meaning they are physically off (they are turned on, but they don't receive any video signal)
b) they seem to be stuck at the logging screen with the progress bar.


Reproducible: Always

Re-assigning to KScreen
Comment 2 Alexander Nestorov 2015-02-15 21:29:07 UTC 
Please note that if I run "xrandr --setprovideroutputsource 1 0" KDE's monitors tool starts showing the 3rd and the 4th monitor. I can then enable them and arrange them, and everything works fine, except this bug: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=344209
