Monitor overscan compensation? How? #xrandr #overscan

https://askubuntu.com/q/1566108/612

Es más fuerte que yo, si un comando medianamente largo lo tengo que ejecutar más de dos veces, sale alias xD

Y lo peor, he creado un script que lo ejecuta sólo cuando inicio sesión en #lxqt, y ya no necesito ejecutar el comando 😅

Más sobre alias en la terminal de comandos? 👇

Wrote a blogpost about simple (I mean with a shell and a text editor) #X11 configuration.

Covered topics:
1) #Trackball configuration for left hand. Also remapping of some buttons to have scrolling and middle button (not exists out of the box).
2) Theming: #GTK2 #GTK3 #QT , installing cursor(s), fonts and icons.
3) #Xrandr for multimonitor configuration
4) #Xserver settings for #HighDPI
5) #XDG utils and #Emacs as a system file manager
6) #XDM login window

OTT: Extreme Multihead For Gaming (on Linux PC):

All these hoops are basically obsolete with #gamescope nowadays, because this micro compositor allows to configure any virtual display size that games get to see - and handles upscaling on top.

This is how the Apple Cinema Display 23 responded when I tried to overclock its refresh rate. I knew it wouldn't work, but I still wanted to try using:

cvt 1920 1200 61.

I also tried 75 Hz, but the display turned off.

Just released new #pinxi (next #inxi ) has first draft of working monitor scaling support. The higher physical screen resolutions get, the more scaling is used. #mrmazda had off and on mentioned this as nice to have feature.

Not easy to figure out data sources but seems to work with #xrandr and wayland-info now.

I realized I could do scaling on my #xfce with #x11 which made dev a lot easier. Plus a good data file of #wayland scaled 3 monitor setup.

Updated graphics docs with new res section.

Since "The Year of 🐧GNU/Linux on the Desktop" has surprisingly been postponed once more:

I want "xfce4-display-settings -m" to show up on *every* connected display when I press Meta+P, not just on my (closed) notebook in its dock 😡

The #pseudocode is easy:

for each display in connect_displays
$process = start "xfce4-display-settings -m"
move $process.window to $display.center

I have the 🔧 bits 'n' 🧩 pieces
#bash #xdotool #wmctrl #xrandr #gdk #xfce4 #python ready.

but still: welp 🥺

Phew, it's been a little ordeal but a labour of love.

Proud to present the next iteration of my #bash #script which should be more robust and less annoying in daily use. Only 'problem' is when the screen becomes locked and your keyboard is disabled (no easy way to enter your password) but rebooting should be a workaround for that.

It should be a desktop agnostic way to #autorotate your screen and mice by method of #xrandr and #xinput. Please try it and report bugs!
