Hello,
I have connected a TV to my laptop after a couple of months again. There have been some updates to the system in the meantime. I am running KDE.

The problem is, the screens have been merged into one virtual screen with double the resolution:

Code:

Screen 0: minimum 320 x 200, current 3840 x 1080, maximum 16384 x 16384
eDP connected primary 1920x1080+0+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 309mm x 173mm
   1920x1080     60.01*+  48.01 
   1680x1050     60.01 
   1280x1024     60.01 
   1440x900      60.01 
   1280x800      60.01 
   1280x720      60.01

   640x480       60.01 
DisplayPort-0 connected 1920x1080+1920+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 1210mm x 680mm
   1920x1080     60.00*+  50.00    59.94    30.00    25.00    24.00    29.97    23.98 
   1680x1050     59.88 
   1600x900      60.00 
   1280x1024     75.02    60.02 
   1440x900      59.90 
   1366x768      59.79 
   1280x800      59.91 
   1152x864      75.00 
   1280x720      60.00    50.00    59.94 
   1024x768      75.03    70.07    60.00 
   832x624       74.55 
   800x600       72.19    75.00    60.32 
   720x576       50.00

   640x480       75.00    72.81    66.67    60.00    59.94 
   720x400       70.08 
DisplayPort-1 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis)
DisplayPort-2 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis)


They used to be separate screens as viewed by the X server - I need to be able to specify the screen when I run commands (for example for color calibration). I have no idea how to separate them except creating a static configuration for the X server. When I switch the window positions or change them to mirror using xrandr, it keeps it as one screen, just changes its dimensions. Thanks for any tips!

xorg-server-21.1.13
xrandr-1.5.2
plasma-workspace-5.27.11
