The xrandr commandline utility uses then libXrandr library. See 'man 3 Xrandr' for the C functions you can use from your C++ application. You can also take a look at the xrandr source code (you can see the source for example here: http://cgit.freedesktop.org/xorg/app/xrandr/). tom _______________________________________________ xorg mailing list [email protected] http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/xorg
