Multiple monitors in oS 15.3
We have generally had no trouble setting up multiple monitors on openSUSE. It has been working for quite a while. I have a oS 15.3 install with KDE and an intel GPU. On this computer, booting, say, 42,3 works perfect in this respect. However, on 15.3, the settings for multiple displays do not stay after logging out. All is always set back to just using the display in HDMI1. The other two on HDMI2 and HDMI3 are forgotten. I have to fiddle with the group and then the three displays are available for arrange. But all is gone after a logout/login. I see this bug: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=436648 Could this be what is happening here? I don't see a solution. But it sounds like it is in the same area. Does anyone else have an issue with multiple monitors (settings not remembered across logins) in oS 15.3 and KDE? -- Roger Oberholtzer

I have a theory that the problem might be that no KDE settings are saved and used in the next login. So maybe it is not just the display layout. I'm not sure. The system is in another city, which slows down my testing. Anyone have problems generally saving KDE settings? KDE is set to use the settings from the previous session. If that makes a difference here. In fact, KDE was pretty much however it is out-of-the-box, for a new user. It started a new life this way. -- Roger Oberholtzer

This general setting issue was reported by a user. I do not see it. I only see the multiple display thing. I think the settings are kept in $HOME/.config/systemsettingsrc between logins. The are just no longer used in subsequent logins. Some flag that says to use them? It is almost as though they are written correctly and stay in the file, but they are not read back in. -- Roger Oberholtzer
