    After upgrading to 5.26 a view days ago, I noticed that my external monitors no longer show any content - they only show a black screen.

    I cannot reproduce this on a purely Intel laptop, neither with X11 nor Wayland.

    There are a lot of moving parts like you said including the KDE stack, Qt and also the graphics drivers.

    Out of curiosity did you try Wayland and it had some shortcomings for your use case or is it just that you stayed on X11 because it was always your setup ?
    At this point I’d recommend giving it a try, it’s becoming more and more stable and has features like per-screen UI zoom factor that I don’t think Plasma can do with X11.

    Can you also check journalctl if you can find anything funny or any kind of errors ?


    In any case (wayland working or not) I’d recommend raising the bug upstream as we’re with the latest versions of everything here.


    Happy hacking,

    Looks a lot like this bug :
    https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=460341

    Fixed in 5.26.1.

    If you shout loud enough I can backport it but I would as well wait for the 5.26.1 release if you can live with the bug.


    Cheers,
