[opensuse-factory] [TW] multi-monitor setup with KDE on Radeon HD 7700/7800 since Kernel 4.4 broken
Hello openSUSE bleeding-edge lovers, since the update a few weeks ago from Kernel 4.3 to 4.4 my multi-monitor setup with KDE is broken. Unfortunately, I haven't had any time investigating further until now but configured grub2 to only boot into Kernel 4.3.3-6 to keep my system running. I can't remember whether the switch to KDE5 was before or after that. How is it broken? After login, the KDE splash-screen (with logo and progress bar bouncing between top and bottom into the center) gets stuck somewhere in that bouncing. Each time at another position. After that, nothing happens any more. I have to switch to tty0, login as root, remove /home/USER/.local/share/kscreen/SOME_HASH_NAMED_FILE and reboot. The screens are then back to defaults (both at (0,0) with the resolution of the smaller monitor). The bigger, primary monitor is connected via HDMI-0 and the smaller via DVI-0. $ sudo lspci -s 01:00 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. [AMD/ATI] Cape Verde PRO [Radeon HD 7750/8740 / R7 250E] I've found out, that the issue is having two monitors with different resolution placed side-by-side. Having them both positioned in (0,0) but different resolutions is working fine. However, with a newly created "virgin" test user it works flawless side-by- side. Does anyone know of a solution without starting from scratch (i.e. complete fresh installation of Tumbleweed)? I already removed all of ~/.kde4 and most of .config and .local/share (not the things related to baloo, akonadi and kdepim). All the best, Torbjoern
