NAME

autorandr - automatically select a display configuration based on connected devices

SYNOPSIS

autorandr [OPTION] [PROFILE]

DESCRIPTION

This program automatically detects connected display hardware and then loads an appropriate X11 setup using xrandr. It also supports the use of display profiles for different hardware setups.

Autorandr also includes several virtual configurations including off, common, clone-largest, horizontal, and vertical. See the documentation for explanation of each.

FILES

Configuration files are searched for in the autorandr directory in the colon separated list of paths in $XDG_CONFIG_DIRS - or in /etc/xdg if that var is not set. They are then looked for in ~/.autorandr and if that doesn't exist, in $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/autorandr or in ~/.config/autorandr if that var is unset.

In each of those directories it looks for directories with config and setup in them. It is best to manage these files with the autorandr utility.
