Re: KDE and latest Fedora 24 kernel do not get along

I filed a bugzilla report.  It's
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1397864

Meanwhile I did some more poking around and found something that appears
very interesting.  To quote a comment I added to the above bugzilla report:

==================================================
Apparently, kernels newer than 4.8.4 think my system has 2 monitors
attached to it.  It only has one.  It has never had two.  I'm using the
embedded graphics for my one and only monitor. I have never added a
second video card.  When I run the KDE system settings app and use the
display applet, it sees my main monitor and second monitor it describes
as a laptop monitor.  This system is not a laptop.  It is a desk-side
system.  Only kernels newer than 4.8.4 (ie, 4.8.8.and 4.8.10) show this.
 The 4.8.4 kernel correctly determines I only have one monitor.
==================================================

I've got a workaround for now.  I can run system setting and choose the
display and monitor applet.  That's where I see two displays.  After
some back and forth I've found that clicking "Unify Outputs" gives me
one display.  Icons are all messed up but I can live with that for now.
