None of the existing display configuration tools does what I think is "the right thing".
|
|
|
|
|
So I went and wrote one.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
## The Right Thing
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Don't start from a stored config, use xrandr to read the systems' current state
|
|
|
|
|
* Allow creating "profiles" that will get applied smartly (not there yet)
|
|
|
|
|
* Generate a xrandr invocation to reflect the desired configuration
|
|
|
|
|
* Allow per-monitor scaling
|
|
|
|
|
* Allow arbitrary monitor positioning
|

|
|
|
* Implement "scale everything so all the pixels are the same size"

If you have PySide2: `python -m xrandroll` in the folder where you cloned it (of course deps are a problem,
|
|
|
|
|
this is experimental code, if you can't figure it out it's probably better for you 😊).

## TODO:

|
|
|
|
|
|
* Implement other things
|
|
|
|
|
* Forget about it forever
