<div class="moz-cite-prefix">I did however have to stop using KDE
recently as moving from 6x 1080p monitors to 3x 4k tv's presents
a situation that seems to aggravate the driver, hardware, as
well as the desktop apps down to Qt itself. Being TV's, they're
not smart about things like DPMS, and turning them off at night
is like unplugging them to the pc. This causes all sorts of
weird behavior I'm finding, plasma4.x u14.04+fglrx)couldn't
remember which monitor was which to put things back properly
when returning, and plasma 5.x (u16.04+ati/mesa) regressed with
QT so still cannot deal with displays coming and going well to
not simply freak out at times. Again, damn compositors.<br>

I'm also running a 4K TV as a monitor and I had been letting it turn
itself off after a certain amount of time not being used. In the
morning I was greeted with a black screen that required pressing
CTRL + ALT + F1, logging in, and doing various things to get my
session back.<br>
I did just go check the interweb and found the bug reports from
other people having the same problem, and it appears that as of
plasma 5.6 the problems should be solved. I've not tested it yet
myself as my computer is busy, but it appears as long as you are
running the latest Kubuntu WITH the backports PPA, you should be
able to run KDE again without problems.<br>
