KDE no longer shows display interface information #7

Open jdillon opened 1 year ago

Any idea how to figure out which display is for which interface these days? The display configuration no longer shows this, only shows name/model + maybe serial (sometimes not even that) and when clicking "Identify" doesn't show any more details.

I have 3 displays and I find it very hard to know which values to configure.

xrandr doesn't show this unfortunately, and I can kinda guess from the output and offset which is which.

This is a great extension and I use it all the time. I would love to see it have a better way to pick which heads should have a virtual desktop and which should not.

It also appears that the configuration does not take effect until I forcefully restart kwin with kstart -- kwin --replace. It actually does seem to be working before this but it uses the wrong configuration. I have my left-most monitor w/o a virtual desktop and by default when I login in the right-most monitor has no virtual desktop... until I restart kwin then it has the correct configuration.
