I'm not sure X(RandR) gets an event when the new monitor is actually plugged in (although if there is such a thing, I'd be happy to add support for it if someone can point me to the docs). I think you might have to use udev, something like this: http://www.danilopianini.org/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=49:automatically-switch-screen-configuration-when-a-new-monitor-is-connected-in-sabayon-linux&catid=6:articles&Itemid=23 \t -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qtile-dev" group.
