graphical front end for xrandr that saves settings on reboot.
 
Hi,
Is there a graphical front end for xrandr that also allows you to save your setup so that it automatically sets up the X configuration at boot time thereby simplifying this process. For example, at the moment if i want to use an external monitor on my laptop i have to manually set it up after booting as it defaults to the laptop resolution which is not a big deal but would still be nice to have this happen automatically. I tried putting a script into rc.local to do this but didnt work.

I have tried programs such as lxrandr, grandr, arandr which are all good but dont allow you to save your choices so that they are automatically applied at the next boot of the X system. Seems to me that a tool like this would be very usefull.

Any help is much appreciated.

Cheers.

No
 
Why don't you write an Autostart script to do the job?
