Version: (using Devel) OS: Linux Installed from: Compiled sources This means it should autosense if the 2nd screen is on or off and also notice if that state changes so the desktop gets correctly in- and decreased on a multihead setup. The reasoning is that my 2nd screen isn't always on and it isn't possible to run two separate desktops as one can with KDE3 which is also unlikely to change in the future according to some developer's comments.
This would also enable the user to set kephal to e.g. disable the LVDS as soon as the VGA is active and enable it again if the VGA is detached.
Thank you for your bug report or feature request. Unfortunately, we did not have a maintainer for the "kephal" component, which is used to manage displays and monitors in the KDE Workspaces. The "kephal" component has been superseded by "KScreen" in newer releases of the KDE Workspaces. It is compatible with all versions since 4.11, and is also used with Plasma 5. Please check with your distribution how to update to KScreen. If this issue or feature request is still applicable to KScreen version 1.0.5 or newer, please add a comment. We will then reassign this ticket to KScreen developers. If you are already using KScreen to manage displays or monitors, and found a different bug or need a specific feature, please create a new ticket for "KScreen" product in this bugzilla using this link: https://bugs.kde.org/enter_bug.cgi?product=KScreen (This is an automatic message from the KDE Bug Triaging Team)
