I just installed Leap 15.5 on my computers. Two of these use the same monitor (alternatively), a BenQ SW2700. On one of the two computers, everything went fine: screen resolution I use is 2560x1440, and refresh rate is 60Hz. But the other computer (that worked all right before I installed 15.5), does not recognize the monitor: it says “default” and gives only a 1680x1050 resolution and a 77Hz refresh rate. For the same monitor!!!
I give the messages of both computers (xrandr and inxi) here. First the BAD one (not recognized):

I am working in KDE Plasma, cannot find kscreen-doctor or such programs. How do I force the “BAD” computer to recognize the monitor that the other recognizes without problem, in the same software configuration?
I am thankful for your help!
