Issues with GSYNC and KDE

fettouhi · 2021-12-29 13:53:17

I recently got a new monitor (Brand is LG) that is G-SYNC compatible. I am using KDE Plasma as my desktop with Nvidia 1080 GTX using the closed-source drivers. I have a dual monitor setup. The new G-SYNC monitor is set as my primary monitor and is connected via Displayport. My other monitor is an Asus monitor (75 Hz) connected via HDMI. My issue currently with KDE is that when logging in and out of my desktop or rebooting that the positions of my widgets on my primary monitor are not remembered and I have to rearrange and resize them every time. Any ideas why this happens? Also when at the login screen only my HDMI monitor is active, the Displayport monitor is idle. Do I need to set something in system settings or xorg.conf?

Just an additional note. I was running a dual-screen setup before with an older HDMI Samsung screen as my secondary monitor. Here I had no issues with KDE desktop.

The new G-SYNC monitor is set as my primary monitor

How and where did you set that (the xorg conf files you posted don't do that) ?

Also when at the login screen only my HDMI monitor is active, the Displayport monitor is idle

Is that a console login or a graphical login / display manager ?

Is the nvidia card the only graphics card in your system ?
