Topic: Grandr instead of the xfce resolution tool.

Hello,
I have succesfully installed crunchbang on my eeepc 900 and have been using it for 2 weeks now. Everything seems to work quite perfect and I am pleased with the result. The crunchbang default style (minimalistic) totally fits me. (: Good, enough asslicking for now tongue

I have a suggestion. I see that the xfce resolution changing tool ("xfce-setting-show display") is being used, now I found a tool called "grandr". It can do almost the same the xfce tool can do, and more. like settings up a dual (or more) monitor environment) and screen rotation. Maybe you want to consider including it in crunchbang. Just a suggestion tongue

Keep up the good work.

Re: Grandr instead of the xfce resolution tool.

Hello peterrus and welcome to the forums smile

Thank you for suggesting grandr, I had not previously heard of it. I have given it a try and I like it, but I will need to do some more testing. For what it is worth, the Xfce4 tool has been replaced within CrunchEee and the "Lite" edition with lxrandr, which is similar to the grandr. Thank you again for the suggestion, it is appreciated! smile

Re: Grandr instead of the xfce resolution tool.

I have had a look at lxrandr, it does the job, but you can only use your second monitor in cloned mode, not in twinview mode, lxrandr is somewhat more stable and userfriendly.
