A better Xrandr tool for the next Ubuntu release
If you’ve been using Linux and wondering if you could use two monitors, especially for those who are laptop users, you have a tool Xrandr. But the thing with Xrandr is that it’s buggy and it’s mainly something you have to configure via the command line which not everybody is comfortable with. I’ve used Kubuntu some time last year and there was a graphical tool to fix it but at first I had to use the command line to make sure my external monitor was detected.
Enter Ubuntu Hardy Heron, the upcoming Ubuntu release. Bryce Harrington blogged about the Xrandr GUI tool he’s been working on and even shared some images to give us an idea as to how it would look like. It reminded me of the graphics settings on Windows XP that let you set which monitor is primary and stuff. The new tool even lets you change the orientation of the rotation of the screen. Sounds cool? Check out Bryce Harrington’s blog for more details.
