disport

Wrapper for xrandr to easily handle multi monitor setup

Description

Provides easy access to the most important xrandr functions (at least to the ones I use most often), namely:

• Send the same output to all connected displays
• Restrict the output to the main display
• Extend the viewport across several displays

If you need any more elaborate xrandr functions, you better just use xrandr.

Install

pip install disport

Usage

List connected displays and their resolutions:

disport --list

Clone output among all connected displays:

disport --clone

Restrict output to main display:

disport --solo

Extend output to the display left of the main display:

disport --extend left

Extend it to the right:

disport --extend right

To-do

• Let the user specify the display for the restrict mode
• Let the user freely specify the arrangement of the displays for the extend mode
• Provide fallback if two displays have no common resolution
