Description Salvo "LtWorf" Tomaselli 2016-11-23 09:47:13 UTC
I have a laptop, with an HDMI output.

I have configured systemsettings so that whenever I plug an external screen, that one is used and the embedded one is disabled. Normally, when unplugging the external screen, the other screen goes on again.

When redshift is in use, I can plug an external screen, but when I unplug it, the internal one will not go on. So the computer is just dark.

By pressing ctrl+alt+f1, a vt does appear, and I can use that to restart sddm.
