[kwlug disc.] disable xrandr? part 2

[John Kerr]

Hi Richard

I found this at http://wiki.debian.org/XStrikeForce/HowToRandR12

II.3. Adding/removing heads dynamically

The old days where you had to restart X when plugging a new monitor are gone. With RandR 1.2, you can plug/unplug monitors whenever you want. Running the following line will query all outputs and enable them with their default mode:

  $ xrandr --auto

You may also disable one output using:

  $ xrandr --output LVDS --off

This may be useful for some buggy application that don't support multiple outputs well. Also, due to CRTC limitations (see the Caveats section below), it is often required to disable one output before enabling another since most hardware only support 2 at the same time. 

I hope this helps

John
