Created attachment 125705 [details] Mock-up of Display Configuration asking user for authentication when applying settings so they can apply globally. SUMMARY Plasma’s Display Configuration system settings module doesn’t apply new orientations globally so the login screen remains on the old orientation. I don’t think many systems need separate display settings per user. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Change display orientation with a multi-monitor setup. 2. Logout and notice how that new orientation hasn't been applied to the login screen. OBSERVED RESULT Display settings are only applied to the user. EXPECTED RESULT Display settings should be applied to the whole system. SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Linux/KDE Plasma: Solus 4.1 KDE Plasma Version: 5.17.5 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.66.0 Qt Version: 5.13.2 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
In general I think we need to come up with a way to allow admin users to apply settings globally instead of for just their own user. This would not be KScreen-specific as there are many other things I could imagine should be set globally.
