Just updated to 5.26, and my dual display is no longer working.
I have a Radeon RX580 with two HDMI monitors connected. They worked fine before upgrade.
I have signal on both monitors, but both display the same screen.

in control panel, it only displays one of the monitors, and xrander also only lists one:
Code: Select all
xrandr --listmonitors
xrandr: Failed to get size of gamma for output default
Monitors: 1
 0: +*default 1920/508x1080/286+0+0  default

lshw reports:
Code: Select all
lshw -c video

I tried the old and tested boot flag amdgpu.dc=0, but that doesn't make the second monitor appear.

UPDATE:
Switch from Plasma X11 to Plasma Wayland on the login screen, and second monitor is now recognized.

I have this problem too, except mine stopped working in the middle of a work session. This is a deal breaker if it doesn't get fixed.

Update: After much web searching and no answer, I went to Display Configuration and opened the drop down menu for devices and, lo and behold, the ASUS monitor was there but showed it was disabled! Just had to enable and designated as primary. Problem solved. Strange. Very strange.
