I have a FireMV 2400, but am only using 2 outputs. I'm hoping that
Fedora 12 will make using all 4 outputs possible. Anyway, here's a script
that gets run when I start my computer:
------------------------------------------------------------
# Yes, we set the same things multiple times, but strangely, removing
# stuff will make this break.
xrandr --output DVI-0 --mode 1024x768 --crtc 1
xrandr --output DVI-1 --auto --left-of DVI-0 --mode 800x600 --crtc 0
xrandr --output DVI-0 --mode 1280x1024
xrandr --output DVI-0 --mode 1024x768 --crtc 1
xrandr --output DVI-1 --auto --left-of DVI-0 --mode 800x600 --crtc 0
------------------------------------------------------------
My script above does the following:
1. Try to set things the way I want (fails for some reason)
2. Completely change the screen mode of DVI-0
3. Try to set things up the way I want (works this time)
I'm wondering, if you play with xrandr long enough, will you get
something useful?
Say you want monitors 1, 2, and 3 in that order. I'd be at least
thinking about ending with a sequence that went something like this:
1. Put monitor 3 to the left of monitor 1 (or maybe above)
2. Put monitor 2 to the right of monitor 1 (the right-of slot should be
free now that monitor 3 isn't in it)
3. *Now* put monitor 3 to the right of monitor 2
I figure there's a bug in xrandr somewhere since my init script has to
run some bits twice, but I've worked around it. Maybe you can too.
HTH :)
