I have 3 display ports: HDMI, DVI, DisplayPort. They switch names slighty based on when they are 'discovered' at boot. This fixes that problem, but only if you have HDMI, DVI, DisplayPort .. or edit to accomodate. this requires you have a aRandr config or manually generated xRandr command line saved in a text file at ~/.screenlayout/mRandr.sh [marcDouglas] ====== #! /usr/bin/env tclsh puts "Welcome to mRandr" namespace eval mRandrConfig { variable devices1 variable configs variable devicesOff variable configDir variable configFile proc run { } { initialize readConfig } proc initialize { } { variable devices1 variable configs variable devicesOff variable configDir variable configFile set configDir ~/.screenlayout/ set configFile mRandr.sh set devices [list] set devicesOff [list] } proc readConfig { } { variable devices1 variable configs variable devicesOff variable configDir variable configFile file mkdir $configDir set configFilePath [file join $configDir $configFile] if {[catch {open $configFilePath r} data]} { puts "Error readoing config file. \[$configFilePath\]" } while { [gets $data line] >= 0 } { if { [string first xrandr $line] == 0} { set xrandrLine $line } } while {[set outLocation [string first --output $xrandrLine]] >= 0} { set xrandrLine [string range $xrandrLine $outLocation+9 end] # puts "xrandrLine:$xrandrLine" if {[set outLocation [string first --output $xrandrLine]] >= 0} { set tempDevice [string range $xrandrLine 0 $outLocation-2] processDevice $tempDevice set xrandrLine [string range $xrandrLine $outLocation-1 end] } else { processDevice $xrandrLine } } } proc processDevice { line } { variable devices variable configs variable devicesOff set outLocation2 [string first " " $line] set tempDevice [string range $line 0 $outLocation2-1] set tempConfig [string range $line $outLocation2+1 end] if {[set outLocation [string first --off $line]] < 0} { lappend devices $tempDevice $tempConfig lappend configs $tempConfig } else { lappend devicesOff $tempDevice $tempConfig } } proc devices { } { variable devices return $devices } proc devicesOff { } { variable devicesOff return $devicesOff } } namespace eval mRandr { variable devices variable xresults variable configOptions set configOptions(DisplayPortXOptions) "" set configOptions(HDMIXOptions) "" set configOptions(DVIXOptions) "" proc run_xRandr { } { variable devices variable xresults variable configOptions puts -nonewline "Checking xrandr...
