    Is it okay to stop these background services?

    In System Settings > Background services, I have KScreen 2 running. It's described as providing "Screen management". If I have just the one monitor and no intention of adding a second, do I need KScreen 2 running?

    To be clear, are you saying that in System Settings > Background services you see an entry named KScreen and another named KScreen 2?

        mmm... My System-Settings does not have a "Background Services" option.


        EDIT: Never mind! I found it by running

          Yes, you can stop that service. In the past, it caused problems with certain nvidia cards and multiple monitors. I stopped and disabled it and solved my issue at the time. It's really a tool for laptop users who sometimes plug in second monitors.
