XRandRoll

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" (not done yet)

To try:

If you have PySide2: python -m xrandroll in the folder where you cloned it.

TODO:

• Implement other things
• Make it a proper app, with installation and whatnot
• Forget about it forever
