XRandr adaptive mirrored screens
Hi Xorg Team ! I'm the network administrator of a French High school and I'm face of a new problem since the integration of XRandr in Debian Stretch. Many of my Debian Stretch stations are teacher's desktop. Each of them are connected to a screen and to an interactive projector. I would like that the displays are mirrored with the best common resolution. But the problem is that : -> Not all station are the same model. So XRandr does not give always the same name to the outputs. -> The screen and the projector are not always connected to the same display ports (VGA, HDMI, ... ) -> The screen and projector sizes varies. So Xrandr don't always select the same resolution by default. -> Not all graphic cards support the same display resolutions. So actually I need to make a custom Xorg config file for all my stations individually. For each station : -> I need to identify the output's name of the screen and of the projector -> I need to list the supported resolutions for each output -> I need to choose the best match resolution -> And finally I need to I add a config file like this : Section "Monitor" Identifier "HDMI-1" Option "Primary" "true" Option "PreferredMode" "1280x1024" EndSection Section "Monitor" Identifier "VGA-1" Option "Position" "0 0" Option "PreferredMode" "1280x1024" EndSection Is there a way to make Xorg mirror screens by default and choose itself the best resolution ? Ideally a config file that I can deploy in all my teacher's station. If someone can help me ! Thanks !
