    [Graphics] [SOLVED partly] How to get rid of non-exist display?

    Kubuntu 22.04 installed on SSD as only OS on old Lenovo V570c laptop.
    Plasma ver.: 5.24.7
    inxi output:
    CPU: dual core Intel Pentium B960 (-MCP-) speed/min/max: 1967/800/2200 MHz
    Kernel: 5.15.0-60-generic x86_64 Up: 1d 5h 31m Mem: 5289.9/7863.1 MiB (67.3%)
    Storage: 1.03 TiB (78.5% used) Procs: 253 Shell: Bash inxi: 3.3.13​
    xrandr output (part of it):
    Screen 0: minimum 8 x 8, current 1366 x 768, maximum 16384 x 16384
    VGA-0 connected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis)​
    ...
    LVDS-1-1 connected primary 1366x768+0+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 344mm x 193mm
    Laptop has these VGA controllers:
    00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 2nd Generation Core Processor Family Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 09)
    Subsystem: Lenovo 2nd Generation Core Processor Family Integrated Graphics Controller
    Kernel driver in use: i915
    --
    01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation GF119M [GeForce 410M] (rev a1)
    Subsystem: Lenovo GF119M [GeForce 410M]
    Kernel driver in use: nvidia
    The problem is that some programs (Kdenlive, Openshot video editor) and some games (OpenMW, Assaultcube, UFO: AI) doesn't work. Some (kdenlive) say: that it's something wrong with display settings. Some (AssaultCube) work in background but doesn't show anything on screen. Or, for example, I hear music from OpenMW, but nothing on screen. And in settings it (OpenMW) offers to use "default resolution: 0x0", which seems strange. I can't recall what exactly I've been doing when these problems started.
    In my opinion it connected with fact that xrandr tells about some VGA-0 connected, but I only have laptop screen and no external displays connected.

    I tried to reinstall nvidia drivers but it didn't help.

    So how can I get rid of this "ghost" VGA-0? Or where should I dig to understand the roots of the problem?

    [SOLVED partly]: After looking through history of commands I could recollect that at some point I had installed SDL2 from sources (don't ask why). Uninstalling it solved a problem with programs and games not running. But mysterious VGA-0 still stays with me.

      This might help: https://unix.stackexchange.com/quest...t-doesnt-exist

      Honestly though, unless it's causing a problem IME just leave it be.
