I'm seeing some regressions with kscreen in 6.4.0, too. I notices, that Kscreen2 service isn't auto-loaded. Have you checked this, "kcmshell6 kcm_kded"? As a possible side effect, previously stored screen settings, such as brightness, are not restored at desktop start-up.

Same here. kscreen2 is not running. But even with that running, the issue is not fixed. I also noticed that the wallpaper was thick white edges for some reason. Removing cache and config, fixed that issue, though I don't know whether it was removing cache or config that fixed it. This is an intentional change. If you have a single monitor it won't be displayed, if you have 2 or more then they will be displayed. You can read about it here. https://blogs.kde.org/2025/03/29/this-week-in-plasma-zero-vhi-bugs-and-much-more/ samoht0 don't know about your issue, but please report a separate bug ticket if you want.

Thank you for the reply. I missed that part on the page. Though I would have liked if the screen representation remained for single monitor too. But it might be just that I am not used to the new changes. You'll get used to it and I'm sure KDE people will monitor for the amount of bugs for this change. So far there's only 1 so looks like people don' t mind it. Changing the status back to intentional because nothing was fixed/changed here so it's more precise. Yes of course. Thank you for the hard work you and and your team put in develop and improve KDE. Its been my go to DE for 8 years now. |
Created attachment 182506 [details] Screenshot showing the issue in Display & Monitor settings SUMMARY Previously an icon used to show up indicating how the monitor looks when changing monitor resolution.
