xrandr startup script

rated 0 times [ 1] [ 0] / answers: 1 / hits: 9139 / 1 Year ago, sun, march 5, 2023, 10:04:43

I'm using ubuntu server with xmonad. I configure my dual monitor setup with xrandr but I can't get it to run on startup. My .xinitrc looks like this:

# WM

xmonad



# dual monitor

xrandr --output HDMI1 --auto

xrandr --output VGA1 --auto --left-of HDMI1

The settings are not being applied. How should I go about this?

Try it with an ampersand (&) behind xmonad. So it will be executed in the background. And the two xrandr commands can be executed.

# dual monitor

xrandr --output HDMI1 --auto

xrandr --output VGA1 --auto --left-of HDMI1



# WM

xmonad
