#xrandr — Public Fediverse posts

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? 👇

Va perfecto esto en #X11, el único tema es que, cuando suspendo el sistema, al despertarlo, tengo que ejecutar el comando xrandr de nuevo porque pierde el escalado de pantalla...

He probado varias cositas pero nada parece funcionar... habrá que actualizar y seguir buscando info 🙂

La otra, pasar mi #lxqt a #wayland, y cruzar los dedos con el driver de la #nvidia, mientras no se me joda el #minecraft, todo bien 😅

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.

#linuxTip: create alias ghist (stands for grep history). It allows you to check how you called your command (I'm mostly checking how I ran #xrandr

`alias ghist="history | grep $1"`

```
9763 history | grep xrandr
9765 xrandr --query
9786 xrandr --listmonitors
9787 xrandr --eDP1 --mode 1920x1080 --output DP1 --mode 2200x1650 --left-of eDP1
9905 xrandr-tv
9951 xrandr --auto
```

You can call commands by writing `!<num-before-command>` in your terminal if you just want to repeat it.

So, the question is, in #icewm can I port each workspace to work independently to run each package I need to see? I've extensively read all the man pages for #icewm (I do use arch btw! 😅) but only find the typical #xrandr response. Without going thru the painstaking experimental road of which I've not enough time in this instance. For any #icewm experts out there, is it possible? Or should I just return to #i3? I love them both but found #icewm to be a tad more suitable for me.
2/2

my next mission id to move the giant ws for a smaller sff variant replacement - tomorrow - new box has 64gb ram - originally was going to be ids and probably still will be - making it the daily driver will help sort out and get up to speed a big quicker? machine should be a bit faster and more ram is great - also have 3 monitor option - one is just cheesy dumpster find but was still in box - it will do, more screen real estate is helpful usually, fairly confident linux will find and auto setup monitors rather than what it was like in the old days #xrandr

Finally managed. Cannot really tell what helped. I added the command to ~.config/i3/config as an exec without startup id at the very beginning.

It works there but if I type it in after the system started, I receive the same error and the screen goes dark again.

One day I'll find a window manager that supports creating virtual monitors via #xrandr on the fly for _easy_ fullscreen usage over multiple monitors:

> xrandr --setmonitor UWU auto DisplayPort-0,HDMI-A-0,DisplayPort-2

This is a good moment to mention how awesome #gamescope is.

i.a.: I know it's not a #MST display but the same principle applies, no?

Auf dem #37c3 gab es einen Talk über Xandr. Und ich kann mir nicht helfen. Jedes Mal, wenn ich den Titel lese wunder ich mich, warum #XRandR einen Talk wert ist und was das mit der Datenindustrie zu tun hat.

"Verbessere deine Benutzerfreundlichkeit in Linux mit dem Befehl 'xrandr'. Du kannst Auflösungen anpassen, Bildschirme klonen oder erweitern und vieles mehr. Ein mächtiger Open-Source-Befehl, der deine Display-Konfiguration zum Kinderspiel macht! 💻🐧 #Linux #OpenSource #xrandr"

Some nice datasets and issues for #inxi - Got a rooted #Android dataset, and realized I can detect the #SurfaceFlinger compositor and thus show some data for Display: Also, the recent #Vulkan API upgrade works on android in #termux if you install the vulkan-tools package. Also fixed some partition stuff.

Even better, and also now running in #pinxi is finally finding a way to lock down #DRM vs #Xorg port ID string mapping without using hacks. Works on all DRM driver + #xrandr situations.

Ugh, I soooo wish, this #KDE #sddm would NOT show itself in 3840x1080 on the external display but use it's best (5120x1440) instead. It's just so wrong.
I *guess* it comes because for some reason (no idea why), this display lists 3840x1080 before 3840x2160 before finally 5120x1440 - which is broken in itself. Still, #xrandr calls in a Xsetup file don't work and I can't find how else I could convince this thing to do it right. 😒

Hey there! I made a writeup about turning a #RaspberryPi into an additional HDMI port for my #linux laptop over ethernet. It uses #ffmpeg, #tcpdump, #xrandr and #udhcpd.

I learnt a lot about all these topics while working on it, and I did my best to help fellow tinkerers reproduce the project.

I really hope to find the time and inspiration to write many more articles in the future.

So it turns out that xrandr --verbose actually provides the Serial Numbers of the monitors.
With that, I can finally do an automatic screen placement for my different work spaces.
