Thank you for your reply.
I've searched the internet, but I can't find the answer to some
questions.
It seems that I was already on the right track. I just have a problem
dealing with projectors that have a lower screen resolution than my
native screen resolution.
IN="LVDS1"
EXT="VGA1"
xrandr --output $IN --auto --output $EXT --auto --same-as $IN
However, I think this makes my computer assume that the external
display is the same resolution as my monitor, which is not the case.
How do I fix this? I haven't found the answer to my question.
Thank you for your time,
Raphael

Hi Raphael,
actually there are a gazillion scripts of this kind and everyone
finds its best fit.
For me it has worked best to have my awesome configured to deal with
all my screen setups (one up to three displays, machine-dependant
tags on different displays) and rely on the auto detection of new
displays that lead to an awesome restart. For special purposes I use
autorandr (invoked manually) that tries to guess the right display
arrangement from the connected displays, but in each case of a
important presentation I try to check a while before the presentation
how to configure e.g. the displayport or VGA with the optimal
resolution and prepare an xrandr line in a shell script beforehand,
so that I just need to apply this one I'm on. Also "xrandr --output
VGA-0 --auto" works a treat if the display device supports DDC.
Also xrandr gets a lot easier once you used it a bit, but it turns
out to be more reliable when you finally got its syntax in your
muscle memory.

Hi all,
I'm trying to implement the script suggested in this page
http://awesome.naquadah.org/wiki/Using_Multiple_Screens
for cycling through different multi-screen configurations. Its in
the
section: Cycling through possible configurations.
When I put it in my rc.lua file, I get the error message "attempt to
index global 'config' (a nil value).
I was wondering if anyone has a script that would allow a
plug-and-play
dual monitor that Gnome offers. I can't be bothered to play with
xrandr
commands when I'm about to give a presentation to an audience.
