Hi James,
great to hear from you! And thanks for helping...
Unfortunately I don't have a .config/monitors* file or directory. *still searching*. but I will try to start from scratch again. On my system, already the framebuffer (during boot) doesn't even show logo or console on the third screen if I am booting kernel 5.2 - that's way before userspace configuration, am I wrong? And also same error with startX from a root shell (I know), which I did to find out if it was some kind of permission problem. It wasn't.
I'll do a quick boot into the 5.2 kernel to catch the xranrd error message... Am Montag, 5. August 2019, 18:13:57 CEST schrieb James Mason:

Hi, just wondering if I am the only one where the upgrade to kernel 5.2 series last week broke the monitor setup. I am using two external screens (ACER, HD)
at a Dell Docking station with a recent Dell laptop (Core I7, Intel
Corporation UHD Graphics 620 (Whiskey Lake) ). Has been working fine with triple monitor setup (laptop screen + two screens at dock, mini-DP and HDMI). Updates to kernel 5.2 (at least the ones last week, after July 30 broke that. One screen fails to start, I cannot activate it, xrandr throws an error.
My external monitor setup failed as well, but I've come to expect that. For me, removing the multimonitor config, and starting from scratch usually resolves the issue:
rm ~/.config/monitors.xml*
The few times that hasn't helped, I've been glad of the option to rollback ;-)
For technical reference, I'm using a company-issued Dell E7450 laptop; here's the hardware loadout: https://www.dell.com/support/home/us/en/04/product-support/servicetag/brmw 46 2/overview

I installed kernel 5.1.16 from history repo, and things work again, but (as
happens to that kernel, I assume) bluetooth is broken. Guess I have
to choose at boot time what I want... :-)
Just wondering: Is this a problem someone else has, too or just my setup? Haven't found anything on mailing lists, not in bugzilla or elsewhere. And I
don't get any confirmation for my opensuse support mailing list
subscription - but I don't need support here, not yet. Other laptops with docks and triple monitor setups are not affected - might be in the grafics driver, I assume, with my limited knowledge...
that's the kernel that works: #:~> inxi CPU: Quad Core Intel Core i7-8565U (-MT MCP-) speed/min/max: 600/400/4600 MHz
Kernel: 5.1.16-1.g2af8a22-default x86_64 Markus, if on KDE ( IIRC you are ), (re)move ~/.local/share/kscreen whilst not logged in on KDE, to (re)move your current setup.
