If yes, you can discover the event for docking and undocking with tail -f |
| 29 |
/var/log/messages when you dock and undock the laptop. |
| 30 |
|
| 31 |
Then, create the /etc/acpi/events/docking-event file (the file name doesn't |
| 32 |
matter) like this : |
| 33 |
#event=ibm/hotkey HKEY 00000080 00001004 (put your event here) |
| 34 |
#action=/etc/acpi/actions/my-dualhead-dockingscript |
| 35 |
|
| 36 |
At finally, create the /etc/acpi/actions/my-dualhead-dockingscript file with |
| 37 |
xrandr's commands : |
| 38 |
#!/bin/bash |
| 39 |
xrandr --output LVDS1 --mode 1280x800 |
| 40 |
xrandr --output VGA1 --mode 1280x1024 --above LVDS1 |
| 41 |
|
| 42 |
Check if dock and undock events are differrents and improve this basic idea. |
| 43 |
|
| 44 |
good luck. |
