So you're saying there are multiple issues here? One issue is that the screens' arrangement gets lost on reboot, and the other issue is that sometimes screens show no output despite being enabled in the KScreen KCM? Do I have that right? Yes that is correct. I think I have narrowed the output issue and the screen going blank to a refresh rate issues of some sort. I have to change a couple of the monitors down to a lower refresh rate that is not used in windows. I have all my monitors set to 60 hz in Windows on this same machine and they work fine. Ok, let's use this bug report for the "not displaying any output due to a refresh rate problem" issue. Can you open a new one for the issue about the monitors' arrangements not being remembered as expected? Thanks! Ok I can do that. After using now for a while and being on latest version. It appears that the layouts are being saved. I don't think that seems to be a problem anymore. The problem still exists where one monitor requires me to enable and disable and sometimes requires me to change the refresh rate back and forth to finally get it working. Its odd behavior but when I first boot to fresh desktop I have to enable disable change refresh rates to get 2 of the monitors working properly. The only other problem I seem to have when I power on a 7th monitor it blows up the monitor configuration and sends it into constant blinking screens. I will add this setup works fine in Windows 10. I can power monitors off/on at will and it make adjustments as needed. Maybe this is an Nvidia driver problem more than a KDE problem as a side thought. Do all monitors have the same refresh rates? Are you running Plasma 5.27.2? KDE: 5.27.2 Kernel: 6.2.2-1 Qt Version: 5.15.8 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.103.0 Monitors are not all the same refresh rate. I have however set them all to the same which they support and that doesn't change anything. Thanks. When all monitors are plugged in and enabled as expected, can you attach a file with the output of `kscreen-console bug`?

kscreen-console bug output
(In reply to Nate Graham from comment #7) > Thanks. When all monitors are plugged in and enabled as expected, can you > attach a file with the output of `kscreen-console bug`? I have attached the file but downside is I will be moving away from this monitor configuration in favor of much larger monitors and less screens that hopefully KDE will support. Going to Dual 43 inches and removing 5 of the 7 monitors. So I will have 4 total which will be supported by one graphics card hopefully. I already have one of the 43's that is going up for testing so I won't have this much longer to determine if the bug is fixed. I had most of the monitors disabled is why I never finished out this report in favor of testing out the KDE Zones feature not sure what its called but is like MS Fancy Zones. I think this will allow me to use less monitors and go for larger monitors that will support my need. I am running arch and have all that latest updates installed. I noticed when I re-enabled all the monitors that the configuration of them was a breeze and feels like something improved a little more potentially. When ever I had did this in the past I would have a lot of flickering forever as each monitor was powered on and it would sometimes lock up. This felt more like what I would experience in Windows. A lot of work has gone into both multimonitor support as well as NVIDIA robustness in Plasma 6. Can I ask you to test with the Plasma 6 RC to see if it's fixed now?
