I'm aware of xrandr; unfortunately, applications don't seem to be. |
| 19 |
xrandr is great for internet-TV, when I want to temporarily resize the |
| 20 |
screen, because resizing the screen doesn't cost anything in cpu cycles. |
| 21 |
Software scaling of video is a cpu hog. But Firefox won't automatically |
| 22 |
resize to the new resolution. fbpanel menubar disappears off the bottom |
| 23 |
when I go to a smaller screen, etc, etc. |
