On my work laptop I use 4 different display setups: * laptop only * laptop with beamer (HDMI) * office: 2x external monitors (DVI-D, docking station) * home: 2x external monitors (DP, docking station) As it is too cumbersome to switch screens with Kscreen2 (no support for pre-defined setups), I use small scripts that run "xrandr", assigned to input actions. They work nicely under KDE4. While the output switching works, every time a switch is executed, plasmashell crashes reliably Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Execute script to switch from "Laptop" to "Home" xrandr --output VGA-0 --off --output HDMI-0 --off --output DP-0 --off --output DP-1 --off --output DP-2 --off xrandr --output LVDS-0 --off --output DP-3 --auto --primary xrandr --output DP-2 --auto --right-of DP-3 xrandr --output VGA-0 --off --output HDMI-0 --off --output DP-0 --off --output DP-1 --off --output LVDS-0 --off 2. Execute script to switch from "Home" to "Laptop" xrandr --output VGA-0 --off --output HDMI-0 --off --output DP-0 --off --output DP-1 --off --output DP-2 --off xrandr --output DP-3 --off --output LVDS-0 --auto --primary xrandr --output VGA-0 --off --output HDMI-0 --off --output DP-0 --off --output DP-1 --off --output DP-2 --off --output DP-3 --off Actual Results: Outputs are switched, then the KDE crash handler opens, e.g. with Executable: plasmashell PID: 3887 Signal: Aborted (6) Expected Results: plasmashell should not crash On this system I have to use Nvidia BLOB driver, because that is the only one that can drive the DP ports on the docking station reliably. I'm currently using version 349.59. Kwin5 compositor doesn't work reliably with OpenGL on this system, so I'm using XRender.
