Bug#968828: systemsettings: Extern screen is put at the wrong position on each reconnect
Package: systemsettings
Version: 4:5.17.5-2
Severity: important
Dear Maintainer,
After conencting my external HDMI screen, I set it up (with resolution
1920x1200) to be to the left of my laptop screen (1920x1080, on a 4k screen but
using a lower resolution as scaling just does not work well enough), with their
bottom edges aligned. However, after unplugging and replugging the screen, it
puts them into a different position, where just their corners touch, so it is
impossible to move the cursor from one screen to another. I have to fix this
manually every single time I connect my laptop back to my screen.
As a work-around, I am now using a different connector on my laptop with an
adapter, just because the HDMI port is made unusable by this bug.
(Usually I would report this upstream, but systemsettings is rather outdated in
Debian, with a new major version availabke for more than half a year, so it
doesn't make sense to bother the upstream developers I think.)
Kind regards,
Ralf
