Description

I was tired of having to configure manually the disposition of my monitors when I plugged them in.

So I decided to write this script that define custom behaviour when monitor are plugged in

You might want to adapt the script to your needs ./usr/local/bin/monitor-hotplug.sh

I was inspired by http://stackoverflow.com/questions/5469828/how-to-create-a-callback-for-monitor-plugged-on-an-intel-graphics

Installation

  • clone the repo
  • sudo cp usr/local/bin/monitor-hotplug.sh /usr/local/bin/
  • sudo cp etc/udev/rules.d/99-monitor-hotplug.rules /etc/udev/rules.d/
  • sudo service udev restart

Debuging

  • sudo service udev stop
  • sudo udevd --debug 2>&1 | tee /tmp/udev.log
  • check what's happening when you plug/unplug your monitor
