No external monitor settings in Plasma 5

Hi,

When I plug my TV in my computer through HDMI the default setting is to use the TV INSTEAD of my computer. You can imagine why this can be a botheration.

I looked at this previous thread which should make different options for this available. However the package mentioned in the thread that solved the problem (kscreen-frameworks) is no longer present.

Does anyone know how to make the external monitor settings available?

Thanks!

Re: No external monitor settings in Plasma 5

kscreen should provide the systemsettings module.

I've had it uninstalled because of problems it caused when opening or closing my laptop with an external monitor installed. I don't know the current state.

extra/kscreen 5.3.2-1 (plasma)
