Monitor Setup Utility

Setup my monitor(s) automatically (using xrandr) no matter what machine I'm on or what displays are currently connected.

Usage

$ msu

This will:

  • Disable all disconnected displays
  • Enable the first connected display at its highest resolution
  • Enable all other connected displays, at their highest resolutions, extending each to the right of the last
  • Run the after-setup hook (see below)

Hooks

If $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/msu/after-setup exists and is executable, it is executed after the setup occurs. Use this to do things like reset wallpapers or restart any programs sensitive to monitor sizes.

Installation

MSU is written in Haskell and installed using Cabal. Install GHC and cabal-install via your favorite package manager, then:

$ cabal update
$ cabal install msu

Also, be sure that ~/.cabal/bin is in your $PATH.

TODO

  • extend-{left,right,up,down} - similar to default behavior, but extends in the direction given.
  • mirror - works out the best way (resolution-wise) to mirror all connected displays then does so.
  • Some method for limiting or stating explicitly which monitors are extended or mirrored.

Notes

Xrandr lists your primary monitor first. MSU doesn't rely on that per se, but it will process them in order and you usually want the primary processed first. If you find it doesn't do the Right Thing already, try explicitly registering one of your displays as primary (see man xrandr for how).
