Your tip of running "xrandr --auto" works neatly when I log in and type it. But I still have a problem - how do I automate this at boot up? When I boot the laptop with the lid closed, keeping it plugged to the monitor, it fails to display anything. I then open the laptop lid and it now throws me the laptop screen display on the monitor. Then I log in and run "xrandr --auto" and the display resizes to the monitor size. I want to automate this. How I can do so ?
I could bind "xrandr --auto" to a function key, but it will still throw me the laptop size screen on the monitor display. Regards, KM _______________________________________________ xorg-driver-ati mailing list [email protected] http://lists.x.org/mailman/listinfo/xorg-driver-ati
