Description Paulo Fidalgo 2015-08-13 08:54:29 UTC
Hi have a laptop and an external display connected via DisplayPort.
If I setup Kscreen for the external monitor along with the laptop, next time if I boot with the external monitor disconnected  I get only a black screen in the laptop.

The workaround I found is to disable the "KScreen 2" in the startup services. But like this, every time I want to use with the external monitor I need to manually start the service.

Reproducible: Always




This is the output when the dual display is correctly setup:
