AUTORANDR(1)		    General Commands Manual		  AUTORANDR(1)

NAME
       autorandr  - automatically select a display configuration based on con-
       nected devices

SYNOPSIS
       autorandr [OPTION] [PROFILE]

DESCRIPTION
       This program automatically detects connected display hardware and  then
       loads  an  appropriate X11 setup	using xrandr. It also supports the use
       of display profiles for different hardware setups.

       Autorandr also includes several virtual configurations  including  off,
       common,	clone-largest, horizontal, and vertical. See the documentation
       for explanation of each.

FILES
       Configuration files are searched	for in the autorandr directory in  the
       colon  separated	 list of paths in $XDG_CONFIG_DIRS - or	in /etc/xdg if
       that var	is not set.  They are then looked for in ~/.autorandr  and  if
       that  doesn't  exist, in	$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/autorandr or in ~/.config/au-
       torandr if that var is unset.

       In each of those	directories it looks for directories with  config  and
       setup  in  them.	  It  is best to manage	these files with the autorandr
       utility.
