As far as I can tell I have the latest drivers and kernel installed on a new 15.6 install. I cannot select an extended desktop as it either moves sideways half a screen and locks or it completely locks up when I try to start using it. Duplicate screens work fine and graphics display is as expected, good definition etc.
I note from other messages mismatched drivers with kernel versions appears to be an issue. Here are some outputs, kernel just updated tonight.

If I go through the system settings I only have one screen identified so I can’t set the display configuration as I want. I also have the NVidia settings app there as well. It see’s two displays but the settings can’t be saved as it won’t allow the .conf file to be saved.
I thought the same as it has those two smaller icons that look like two monitors. I couldn’t get more than one to appear. One moves about but if there is another there it never appears.
That did not go well! Incredibly slow to load then near 95% load on CPU and unusable interface. However I did get two screens with taskbar on one only. Couldn’t get the mouse to appear on the second screen but the layout was what i would expect from an extended desktop
If you were to create a new user (while in a Plasma X11 session), then log out and login as the new user (choosing Plasma Wayland), is that any better? Just wondering if the the performance you encountered was due to any desktop customization such as themes etc.
After the latest update, my dual screen also failed. I had to install Nvidia Settings, and in there I can configure the expand configuration, but when I want to save to etc/X11/xorg.conf I get an error that is unable to open xorg.conf.
Also, the system went to a lot more slower.
I’m using Tumbleweed!
What is your card? It looks like a driver issue but could be a conflict with the latest updates as well. I am parking 15.6 until I can figure out how to proceed.
No. That is what it looks like. Seems to be a lost cause. Its a very old card now but I thought it should all still work given 15.5 has been relatively trouble free in the graphics area. I am looking at another machine to run 15.6 on. Just a bit concerned that NVidia is problematic
