LXDE and multiple screens: replacing lxrandr with a script
When using Gnome3 I was really impressed with the support for multiple screens. Then I switched to LXDE and was very disappointed in that desktop’s support for multiple screens. In fact so disappointed that I sat down and read the man-page for ‘randr’ and hacked up the following script:
#! /bin/bash cmd=$1; shift case $cmd in on) # turn on VGA1, auto-select size, right of laptop screen xrandr --output VGA1 --auto --right-of LVDS1 ;; off) xrandr --output VGA1 --off ;; list) xrandr ;; *) echo "Commands: on, off, list" esac |
In my mind it’s vastly more usable than ‘lxrandr’
