 ## Branch information
 
+This is a compatible Python rewrite of
+[wertarbyte/autorandr](https://github.com/wertarbyte/autorandr).

 The original [wertarbyte/autorandr](https://github.com/wertarbyte/autorandr)
-tree seems unmaintained, with lots of open pull requests and issues. I forked
-it and merged what I thought were the most important changes. I will maintain
-this branch until @wertarbyte finds the time to maintain his branch again.
+tree is unmaintained, with lots of open pull requests and issues. I forked it
+and merged what I thought were the most important changes. If you are searching
+for that version, see the [`legacy` branch](https://github.com/phillipberndt/autorandr/tree/legacy).
+Note that the Python version is better suited for non-standard configurations,
+like if you use `--transform` or `--reflect`. If you use `auto-disper`, you
+have to use the bash version, as there is no disper support in the Python
+version (yet). Both versions use a compatible configuration file format, so
+you can, to some extent, switch between them.  I will maintain the `legacy`
+branch until @wertarbyte finds the time to maintain his branch again.
+
+If you are interested in why there are two versions around, see
+[#7](https://github.com/phillipberndt/autorandr/issues/7),
+[#8](https://github.com/phillipberndt/autorandr/issues/8) and
+especially
+[#12](https://github.com/phillipberndt/autorandr/issues/12)
+if you are unhappy with this version and would like to contibute to the bash
+version.
 
 ## License information and authors
 
-Stefan Tomanek came up with and wrote the initial version of autorandr. He
-currently does not maintain it, and did not express his opinion concerning an
-OSS license in two independent requests. To resolve the licensing issue, all
-non-trivial code in this fork has been reimplemented by various authors that
-have agreed to release their code under the terms of the GNU General Public
-License (version 3).
-
-This license will apply to versions of autorandr from this fork that are
-committed after issue #7 has been resolved, and versions derived from that one.
-**In particular, wertarbyte's original repository is still not OSS, and the current
-version in this repository is neither.**

 ## How to use
 
@@ -71,26 +83,8 @@ To change this behaviour and switch to a fallback configuration, specify
 `--default <profile>`.
 
 Another script called `postswitch` can be placed in the directory
-`~/.autorandr` as well as in all profile directories: The scripts are executed
+`~/.config/autorandr` (or `~/.autorandr` if you have an old installation) as well as in all profile directories: The scripts are executed
 after a mode switch has taken place and can notify window managers or other
 applications about it.
 
-While the script uses xrandr by default, calling it by the name `autodisper`
-or `auto-disper` forces it to use the [disper](http://willem.engen.nl/projects/disper/)
-utility, which is useful for controlling nvidia chipsets. The formats for
-fingerprinting the current setup and saving/loading the current configuration
-are adjusted accordingly.
-
-To install autorandr call `make install`, define your setup and then call
-`make hotplug` to install hotplug scripts.
-
-For Debian using auto-disper:
-To make the screen auto-configure when your computer wakes up,
-* Copy auto-disper into /usr/local/bin/
-* Copy pm-utils/40auto-disper into /etc/pm/sleep.d/
-* (Assuming gnome) Run gnome-keybinding-properties and ADD a shortcut,
-  I called it "Run auto-disper", I set it to CTRL-F7, and the command is:
-  `auto-disper -c --default default`
-* Create a default disper setting... eg for laptop: unplug all monitors,
-  set up the screen nicely on the laptop display.
-  Then run `auto-disper --save laptop`
+To install autorandr call `make install`.
