HDMI external screen not refreshing with Intel 520

Postby asimov-solensan » Feb 19th, '18, 21:12

Hello,

I have this problem and right now I'm pretty sure it's a bug in intel drivers or randr o whatever KDE uses to manage screens.

The thing is that I boot the laptop with the screen connected and it sets my last configuration correctly. Now if I disconnect the hdmi monitor and connect it again the configurations seems to apply correctly again. It shows the windows in it's place and you can move the cursor on the external screen. But no elements besides the pointer are updated, you can see the the pointer changing if when you pass over a text box, you can click and drag but nothing in the screen is refreshing, it's an static image. Although you can blindly click and notice that thing are working on the background, even you can drag a window and move it to the built-in screen, which correctly works all the time. A video would describe this behaviour much better.

The only way I found to got a working configuration is using laptop's hotkeys to reset a default display configuration with both screens enabled. Of course I don't like this set-up, I want the external screen to be the main one.

I read a bit and seems a problem with buggy drivers, from an article talking about multi-screen configuration in KDE. It has been a couple years without a fix, so I don't expect any improvement.

Here goes some info on my hardware:
