Description Shawn Starr 2020-06-24 16:40:46 UTC
SUMMARY
When I use a DisplayPort connector on a laptop KScreen does not detect the external display (It is a DisplayPort to VGA adaptor but still 'displayport' to whoever sees the device).

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Start KDE Wayland 5.18.x likely 5.19+ also kwin/plasma 
2. Go to systemsettings, Check the display only see Laptop display listed

OBSERVED RESULT
Only Laptop display is available


EXPECTED RESULT
All external detected displays shown

(available in About System)
KDE Plasma Version: 5.18.5

I believe this is fixed in 5.19
Comment 2 Shawn Starr 2020-06-24 22:38:48 UTC
No, upgraded to 5.19.2 and still see issue:

Display Configuration in systemsettings shows Laptop Screen, but no options for any other displays to select.

It should be noted this laptop has two GPUs:

1) Intel(R) HD Graphics 4600 (HSW GT2)
2) AMD Radeon HD 8950 (BONAIRE, DRM 3.37.0, 5.7.0-1.fc33.x86_64, LLVM 10.0.0)

But I do not see the other GPU being detected at all.
Comment 5 Nate Graham 2022-11-07 21:02:12 UTC

If you can, please change the status to CONFIRMED when replying. Thanks a lot!
