javaguy Posted April 16, 2005 Report Share Posted April 16, 2005 You know that little icon in the system tray on which one can right-click and get a speed menu of different screen resolutions? It's cool because it doesn't make me log in again to see the changes. Is there a way to programmatically change the screen size like that? Like in a shell script?

omcaree Posted April 16, 2005 Report Share Posted April 16, 2005 I don't know if its quite what you're after, but i only discovered it today while trying to rotate my screen xrandr -s <size>/<width>x<height> should allow you to change the resolution manually from the terminal (or from within a script) xrandr -q shows supported resolutions and xrandr --help gives all the help you need hope this helps Owen Mc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
