45 Automatically select a display configuration based on connected devices
49 This is a compatible Python rewrite of
50 [wertarbyte/autorandr](https://github.com/wertarbyte/autorandr). Contributions
51 for bash-completion, fd.o/XDG autostart, Nitrogen, pm-utils, and systemd can be
52 found under [contrib](contrib/).
54 The original [wertarbyte/autorandr](https://github.com/wertarbyte/autorandr)
55 tree is unmaintained, with lots of open pull requests and issues. I forked it
56 and merged what I thought were the most important changes. If you are searching
57 for that version, see the [`legacy` branch](https://github.com/phillipberndt/autorandr/tree/legacy).
58 Note that the Python version is better suited for non-standard configurations,
59 like if you use `--transform` or `--reflect`. If you use `auto-disper`, you
60 have to use the bash version, as there is no disper support in the Python
61 version (yet). Both versions use a compatible configuration file format, so
62 you can, to some extent, switch between them. I will maintain the `legacy`
63 branch until @wertarbyte finds the time to maintain his branch again.
65 If you are interested in why there are two versions around, see
66 [#7](https://github.com/phillipberndt/autorandr/issues/7),

103 ## Installation/removal
105 You can use the `autorandr.py` script as a stand-alone binary. If you'd like to
106 install it as a system-wide application, there is a Makefile included that also
107 places some configuration files in appropriate directories such that autorandr
108 is invoked automatically when a monitor is connected or removed, the system
109 wakes up from suspend, or a user logs into an X11 session. Run `make install`
110 as root to install it.
112 If you prefer to have a system wide install managed by your package manager,
115 * Use the [official Arch package](https://www.archlinux.org/packages/community/any/autorandr/).
116 * Use the [official Debian package](https://packages.debian.org/sid/x11/autorandr) on sid
117 * Use the [ebuild from zugaina](https://gpo.zugaina.org/x11-misc/autorandr) on Gentoo.
119 [nix package](https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/blob/master/nixos/modules/services/misc/autorandr.nix)
121 * Use the automated nightlies generated by the
122 [openSUSE build service](https://build.opensuse.org/package/show/home:phillipberndt/autorandr)
123 for various distributions (RPM and DEB based).
124 * Use the [X binary package system](https://wiki.voidlinux.eu/XBPS)' on Void Linux
125 * Build a .deb-file from the source tree using `make deb`.
127 We appreciate packaging scripts for other distributions, please file a pull
128 request if you write one.
130 If you prefer `pip` over your package manager, you can install autorandr with:
132 sudo pip install "git+http://github.com/phillipberndt/autorandr#egg=autorandr"
136 sudo pip install autorandr
138 if you prefer to use a stable version.
142 Save your current display configuration and setup with:
144 autorandr --save mobile
146 Connect an additional display, configure your setup and save it:
148 autorandr --save docked
150 Now autorandr can detect which hardware setup is active:
156 To automatically reload your setup:
160 To manually load a profile:
162 $ autorandr --load <profile>
166 $ autorandr <profile>
168 autorandr tries to avoid reloading an identical configuration. To force the
171 $ autorandr --load <profile> --force
173 To prevent a profile from being loaded, place a script call _block_ in its
174 directory. The script is evaluated before the screen setup is inspected, and
175 in case of it returning a value of 0 the profile is skipped. This can be used
176 to query the status of a docking station you are about to leave.
178 If no suitable profile can be identified, the current configuration is kept.
179 To change this behaviour and switch to a fallback configuration, specify
180 `--default <profile>`. The system-wide installation of autorandr by default
181 calls autorandr with a parameter `--default default`. There are three special,
182 virtual configurations called `horizontal`, `vertical` and `common`. They
183 automatically generate a configuration that incorporates all screens
184 connected to the computer. You can symlink `default` to one of these
185 names in your configuration directory to have autorandr use any of them
186 as the default configuration without you having to change the system-wide
189 You can store default values for any option in an INI-file in
190 `~/.config/autorandr/settings.ini` in a section `config`. The most useful
191 candidate for doing that is `skip-options`, if you need it.
197 Three more scripts can be placed in the configuration directory (as
198 (as defined by the [XDG spec](https://specifications.freedesktop.org/basedir-spec/basedir-spec-latest.html),
199 usually `~/.config/autorandr` or `~/.autorandr` if you have an old installation
200 for user configuration and `/etc/xdg/autorandr` for system wide configuration):
202 - `postswitch` is executed *after* a mode switch has taken place. This can be
203 used to notify window managers or other applications about the switch.
204 - `preswitch` is executed *before* a mode switch takes place.
205 - `postsave` is executed after a profile was stored or altered.
206 - `predetect` is executed before autorandr attempts to run xrandr.
208 These scripts must be executable and can be placed directly in the configuration
209 directory, where they will always be executed, or in the profile subdirectories,
210 where they will only be executed on changes regarding that specific profile.
212 Instead (or in addition) to these scripts, you can also place as many executable
213 files as you like in subdirectories called `script_name.d` (e.g. `postswitch.d`).
215 If a script with the same name occurs multiple times, user configuration
216 takes precedence over system configuration (as specified by the
217 [XDG spec](https://specifications.freedesktop.org/basedir-spec/basedir-spec-latest.html))
218 and profile configuration over general configuration.
220 As a concrete example, suppose you have the files
222 - `/etc/xdg/autorandr/postswitch`
223 - `~/.config/autorandr/postswitch`
224 - `~/.config/autorandr/postswitch.d/notify-herbstluftwm`
225 - `~/.config/autorandr/docked/postswitch`
227 and switch from `mobile` to `docked`. Then
228 `~/.config/autorandr/docked/postswitch` is executed, since the profile specific
229 configuration takes precedence, and
230 `~/.config/autorandr/postswitch.d/notify-herbstluftwm` is executed, since
231 it has a unique name.
233 If you switch back from `docked` to `mobile`, `~/.config/autorandr/postswitch`
234 is executed instead of the `mobile` specific `postswitch`.
236 In these scripts, some of autorandr's state is exposed as environment variables
237 prefixed with `AUTORANDR_`, such as:
238 - `AUTORANDR_CURRENT_PROFILE`
239 - `AUTORANDR_CURRENT_PROFILES`
240 - `AUTORANDR_PROFILE_FOLDER`
241 - `AUTORANDR_MONITORS`
243 If you experience issues with xrandr being executed too early after connecting
244 a new monitor, then you can use a `predetect` script to delay the execution.
245 Write e.g. `sleep 1` into that file to make autorandr wait a second before
248 ### Wildcard EDID matching
250 The EDID strings in the `~/.config/autorandr/*/setup` files may contain an
251 asterisk to enable wildcard matching: Such EDIDs are matched against connected
252 monitors using the usual file name globbing rules. This can be used to create
253 profiles matching multiple (or any) monitors.
