+# autorandr
+
+Automatically select a display configuration based on connected devices
+
+## Branch information
+
+The original [wertarbyte/autorandr](https://github.com/wertarbyte/autorandr)
+tree is unmaintained, with lots of open pull requests and issues. I forked
+it and merged what I thought were the most important changes. I will maintain
+this branch until @wertarbyte finds the time to maintain his branch again.
+
+This version is not currently under active development. If you experience any
+issues, give the Python version a try:
+
+ https://github.com/phillipberndt/autorandr
+
+
+## License information and authors
+
+autorandr is available under the terms of the GNU General Public License
+(version 3).

+
+## How to use
+
+Save your current display configuration and setup with:
+```
+autorandr --save mobile
+```
+
+Connect an additional display, configure your setup and save it:
+```
+autorandr --save docked
+```
+
+Now autorandr can detect which hardware setup is active:
+```
+ $ autorandr
+   mobile
+   docked (detected)
+```
+
+To automatically reload your setup, just append `--change` to the command line
+
+To manually load a profile, you can use the `--load <profile>` option.
+
+autorandr tries to avoid reloading an identical configuration. To force the
+(re)configuration, apply `--force`.
+
+To prevent a profile from being loaded, place a script call _block_ in its
+directory. The script is evaluated before the screen setup is inspected, and
+in case of it returning a value of 0 the profile is skipped. This can be used
+to query the status of a docking station you are about to leave.
+
+If no suitable profile can be identified, the current configuration is kept.
+To change this behaviour and switch to a fallback configuration, specify
+`--default <profile>`.
+
+Another script called `postswitch` can be placed in the directory
+`~/.autorandr` as well as in all profile directories: The scripts are executed
+after a mode switch has taken place and can notify window managers or other
+applications about it.
+
+While the script uses xrandr by default, calling it by the name `autodisper`
+or `auto-disper` forces it to use the [disper](http://willem.engen.nl/projects/disper/)
+utility, which is useful for controlling nvidia chipsets. The formats for
+fingerprinting the current setup and saving/loading the current configuration
+are adjusted accordingly.
+
+To install autorandr call `make install`, define your setup and then call
+`make hotplug` to install hotplug scripts.
+
+For Debian using auto-disper:
+To make the screen auto-configure when your computer wakes up,
+* Copy auto-disper into /usr/local/bin/
+* Copy pm-utils/40auto-disper into /etc/pm/sleep.d/
+* (Assuming gnome) Run gnome-keybinding-properties and ADD a shortcut,
+  I called it "Run auto-disper", I set it to CTRL-F7, and the command is:
+  `auto-disper -c --default default`
+* Create a default disper setting... eg for laptop: unplug all monitors,
+  set up the screen nicely on the laptop display.
+  Then run `auto-disper --save laptop`
