Hi all,
With the new SRSS one of the best changes was the introduction of the XRandR
extension.
But we noticed the available modes in XRandR don't get updated when you
insert your card in another Sun Ray.
Is there a way to insert custom modes or force the mode list to update upon
reinsertion?
No, not today. Perhaps in our next release.
In the meantime, what most people want is simply to have the desktop
resize automatically upon hotdesking. That also may come in our next
release.
For 4.1, I've attached a small script I've written which does this. It
won't work for multihead but it works for typical cases.
To use it, simply launch a utaction in each session at startup which
runs this script upon every session connect:
utaction -c utfit &
For Linux, you should replace the "nawk" instances with "gawk", and you
may need to tweak PATH to add some directories for Linux.
If anybody feels like enhancing this please feed back your work to the list.
Useful additions I'd like to see but don't have time right now:
- platform independence (i.e. choose nawk vs gawk based on Solaris vs
Linux and an all-inclusive $PATH)
- multihead

if ! isCDE && [ -n "$DESIRED_SIZE" -a "$DESKTOP_SIZE" != "$DESIRED_SIZE" ]
then
xrandr -s "$DESIRED_SIZE"
# to work around a bug, send a HUP to gnome-panel in case it didn't
# handle the resize automatically as it should have
# sleep 1; pkill -HUP gnome-panel
