Hello, |
2 |
|
3 |
I have an nVidia card, and I can use the NVIDIA X Server Settings app |
4 |
to dynamically detect and configure displays I connect to my laptop. |
5 |
When I'm done with the configuration, I simply apply it, and keep on |
6 |
truckin' without having to restart X. |
7 |
|
8 |
Doing this manually each time I connect/disconnect an external display |
9 |
can get tiresome. I can generate an xorg.conf for each setup I |
10 |
frequently use (ie: different monitors at work/home, no monitor on the |
11 |
go), but that means restarting X when the display configuration |
12 |
changes. This can be undesirable if I just want to move from my desk |
13 |
to the living room. |
14 |
|
15 |
I'd like to run a single command, passing it one of my xorg.conf files |
16 |
(for instance), and have my screens configured on-the-fly. I looked at |
17 |
the command-line options for nvidia-settings and nvidia-xconfig but |
18 |
they don't seem to do what I want. I also looked at XRandR but I'm not |
19 |
sure what's the best way forward. |
20 |
|
21 |
Does anyone have something like this already set up? What did you use? |
22 |
Will these nvidia tools do what I need or should I look to XRandR? How |
23 |
do I get started with setting up XRandR? |
24 |
|
25 |
Thanks! |
