Package: lxrandr
Version: 0.1.2-3
Severity: wishlist

Hi!

I have a setup with a laptop, a docking station and two external monitors
connected to the docking station. Since the laptop can only drive two
displays at a time (it only has two CRTCs), I use xrandr to turn off the
internal LVDS display and activate the two external displays. This works,
but is cumbersome and requires three steps.

Using lxrandr, I was hoping that it could turn off the builtin display and
activate the external displays in one step and vice versa. However, this
doesn't work, since activating the second external display fails because
the required CRTC is already in use. It would be nice if lxrandr could
activate the displays in the required number of steps automatically.

Just for the record, a similar issue exists for arandr, the other GUI for
xrandr in Debian.

Thanks!

Uli
