Interesting issue when a monitor/tv is plugged in but turned off
I am currently running my desktop on Bazzite but I believe this issue is more related to underlying Fedora. So I did post it to the Fedora subreddit, but figured I'd drop it here but feel free to delete.
I use my PC in two places: Basement using two monitors (plugged in via DP-1 and DP-2) and also on my TV which is connected using a long HDMI cable. I used to swap my cables in and out but I created a nice bash scripts that uses kscreen-doctor to enable the monitors I want based on where I am playing. But I noticed an issue that I missed before. If the TV is plugged into the HDMI but I turn the TV, I get a blank output on all monitors, even if I disable it first via kscreen-doctor or the display configuration.
My guess is when it gets disabled, it gets a priority of 0. Then when I turn it off, the system is trying to find priority 0 even if disabled and just getting stopped.I am running KDE desktop and Wayland. I would love to be able to leave the TV plugged in and disabled when Im not playing rather then constantly plugging and unplugging the HDMI cable.
Note: There is no issue when using gamescope/bazzite gaming mode. So it is related to the desktop environment.
