Hello,
I am running the latest KDE Linux.
When I disable one of my two screens in the settings, this message appears and the screen doesn’t turn off.
Impossible d'appliquer la configuration d'affichage : La position de la sortie %s est négative, donc, non pris en charge
Translation :
Unable to apply display configuration: The position of output %s is negative, therefore not supported.
I’m not sure if it’s a bug in Plasma, KDE-Linux, systemsettings, Kwin etc so I’m asking here.
Before you disable the screen, what is its position in the visualizer relative to the other one? Can you attach a screenshot of what the visualizer looks like when both screens are enabled?
Additionally, when in that state, can you run and paste the output of kscreen-doctor -o?
Thanks!
The issue happens if I disable either of the two screens.

I am having the same issue on KDE Plasma 6.5.5 Wayland, this error stops me from disabling either monitor since I updated yesterday (it had been a few days since I last updated from Arch repo). My arrangement is very similar to OP’s with a larger monitor on the right set as primary.
