Previously, to make the projector work, I had to open NVIDIA settings after turning it on, disable one of the monitors and enable the projector.
Is it possible, that KDE now asks me a two hours work every time I want to see a movie, thus making it more or less impossible?
Sounds like a Nvidia thing to me.
You told KDE there were two displays, but your Nvidia tools disabled one, (perhaps only briefly) when the projector was plugged in. KDE collapsed it all onto one display at that point.
I would look in Nvidia controls for something that does not disable your second screen when the projector is plugged in.
I cannot find anything in the Nvidia controls in regard of actions when a new device is plugged.
Right now, only the two monitors are shown (projector is turned off).
Before, turning on the projector did/triggered nothing. It just appeared in the nvidia settings, but as inactive. When I activated it manually, it /replaced/ the monitor and had all the contents of that screen without changing anything.
Now turning on the projector automagically turns off the second monitor with all the unwanted consequences (collaps all onto one display).
In System Settings (aka configure desktop), Hardware section, Display and Monitor, you can click any of the display devices in the top box, and see the settings in the bottom box. The settings include a Enable check box. Perhaps that became unchecked when that monitor device disappeared from the equipment supplied by Nvidia.
Right now both check boxes are checked. I changed nothing there.
What can I do?
Is there a way to set the projector to mirror the second display, rather than replace it? Has the latest Nvidia release included any change log items that might suggest a change in this behavior? Is it normal to have libdrm_nouvau2 things installed when the commercial driver is installed?
