External screen works fine at SDDM login and tty but right after login it goes “no signal”. It was working fine for a few hours. In “Display configuration” I constantly see “A new output has been added. Settings have been reloaded” repeatedly, without the external screen showing up. A notification popped up when coming off standby, I’m unable to login and are directed to tty2 to use “loginctl unlock-session 5”.
xrandr --listmonitors gives a strange answer:
Maximum number of clients reached
Can't open display :0
xrandr sees the ext. monitor connected:

EDIT:
I could get the display to replicate the laptop screen with xrandr --auto but after restarting and attaching the external screen, plasma freezes.
