||||||
|
|
||||||

How to use:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Save your current display configuration and setup with:
|
||||||
|
$ autorandr --save mobile
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Connect an additional display, configure your setup and save it:
|
||||||
|
$ autorandr --save docked
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Now autorandr can detect which hardware setup is active:
|
||||||
|
$ autorandr
|
||||||
|
mobile
|
||||||
|
docked (detected)
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
To automatically reload your setup, just append --change to the command line
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
To manually load a profile, you can use the --load <profile> option.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
autorandr tries to avoid reloading an identical configuration. To force the
|
||||||
|
(re)configuration, apply --force.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
To prevent a profile from being loaded, place a script call "block" in its
|
||||||
|
directory. The script is evaluated before the screen setup is inspected, and
|
||||||
|
in case of it returning a value of 0 the profile is skipped. This can be used
|
||||||
|
to query the status of a docking station you are about to leave.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
If no suitable profile can be identified, the current configuration is kept.
|
||||||
|
To change this behaviour and switch to a fallback configuration, specify
|
||||||
|
--default <profile>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Another script called "postswitch "can be placed in the directory
|
||||||
|
~/.autorandr as well as in all profile directories: The scripts are executed
|
||||||
|
after a mode switch has taken place and can notify window managers or other
|
||||||
|
applications about it.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
While the script uses xrandr by default, calling it by the name "autodisper"
|
||||||
|
or "auto-disper" forces it to use the "disper" utility, which is useful for
|
||||||
|
controlling nvidia chipsets. The formats for fingerprinting the current setup
|
||||||
|
and saving/loading the current configuration are adjusted accordingly.
