If you plug in a external monitor, while your computer is suspended, it is not recognized after waking up the computer. You have to go to Display Settings and then KDESC does a rescan of connected monitor devices. It would be great, if KDESC would do a rescan after the computer was suspended. KDESC-Version is 4.14.4 on Fedora 21 Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. suspend your computer without external monitor 2. connect an external monitor 3. wakeup the system Actual Results: The external monitor is not recognized Expected Results: recognize the monitor
Powerdevil's innocent on this :)
I merged a set of changes in KScreen for Plasma 5.3, which includes for-check for new screens after resume from suspend. Feel free reopen if this still won't work in Plasma 5.3.
