Hello Albin, I'm using LXDE and I've posted the same question here a couple of months ago. LXDE does not have a tool that automatically provides monitor switching: https://sourceforge.net/p/lxde/mailman/message/35115552/ I don't know whether LxQt provides such a tool, though. However, Just as a FIY, I did some research and I did find that one can hack a solution based on: 1) polling the kernel events when a monitor is (un)plugged 2) launching a UDEV event when a monitor is (un)plugged and trigger a script to switch configuration I prefer 2) because it is more elegant. I've hacked a tutorial with my findings: https://github.com/apiraino/autorandr There's still some issues as it does not always work, but that's a start. Feel free to contribute.
