+Subject: [PATCH] wayland/outputmanagement: re-allow negative positions for
+ disabled outputs
+
+KScreen normalizes output positions, so that one of the enabled outputs has
+x = 0 and one has y = 0.
+While doing that, it sometimes moves disabled outputs to negative positions, so
+they stay in the same spot relative to the enabled ones. Right now that means
+turning off an output with some setups leads to that configuration being
+rejected, for reasons the user can't follow.
+
+Ideally KScreen will be fixed so it doesn't ever move outputs around and just
+accepts that no output will be at position zero, but I'm a bit concerned about
+negatively affecting the X11 session.
+Until Xorg is dropped, this workaround should be fine.
+
+(cherry picked from commit aa1a44454b106be344466e10f972bcb97a846cad)
