you can use arandr to make a shell script to switch the display to a certain mode. Plug in the monitor and use arandr to make a setup you want, and save that. Then open your config file for openbox and set the keyboard shortcut for your display key (i.e. XF86Display) to execute the <command> /bin/bash /path/to/scriptname.sh </command> while scriptname.sh is whatever you saved the setup as with the correct path. arandr is a front-end for xrandr. So the script is actually using xrandr to modify your display settings. I hope this helps. -- Regards -- Lubuntu-users mailing list [email protected] Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/lubuntu-users
