Description Hubert Kaschulke 2016-06-29 23:57:18 UTC 
After booting, second monitor is recognized and correctly synchronized.
1. monitor: 1400 x 1050px
2. monitor: 1920 x 1200px
After entering user password and pressing ENTER synchronization of 2. monitor fails and main notebook monitor is not available anymore.
-----
Booting with a second account shows no problems.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. boot system
2. choose main (first) user
3. enter password
4. press enter key

Actual Results:  
synchronization of any external monitor fails (I have a second one which fails, too)

Expected Results:  
synchronization of external monitor should not fail

This problem existed some months ago and disappeared then.
Automatic login (without entering password) helped some time but not anymore.


KDE Plasma 5.5.5

Kernel-Version 4.1.26-21-default

Comment 1 Hubert Kaschulke 2016-06-30 06:22:47 UTC 
No problem with IceWM desktop, problems only with KDE Plasma Workspace and Plasma 5 (my normal desktop)
Comment 2 Hubert Kaschulke 2016-06-30 06:25:33 UTC 
Booting and logging in without additional monitor, i. e. only notebook monitor, is okay.
Comment 3 Hubert Kaschulke 2016-06-30 06:33:03 UTC 
/var/log/boot.log shows one error: [FAILED] Failed to start NTP Server Daemon.
Comment 4 Hubert Kaschulke 2016-06-30 07:21:48 UTC 
No difference after removing repository AMD/ATI Graphics Drivers.

With IceWM desktop it is possible to set graphics resolution to 1920x1200 and 1400x1050 and commit but after shutting down and restarting the system with IceWM desktop a low resolution appears again.
