Current state

The OSD is activated when:

  • a second output is connected and no configuration file exists for the two outputs.
  • the hardware key on laptop keyboards is pressed.

The OSD provides the following options:

  • Switch to external screen
  • Switch to laptop screen
  • Unify outputs
  • Extend to left
  • Extend to right
  • Leave unchanged

Problems

  • The OSD also should show for workstations. The naming "Switch to laptop screen" etc. is false then.
  • Currently the "Switch to laptop screen" option is disabled, but it should show when invoking the OSD via hw-key. It should not show when a new external display is connected. It doesn't make sense to connect a new display and then disable it directly - or it could if the compositor has it disabled by default. Use case: presentation on beamer, setup everything first and only then enable it.
  • Only works for two displays. But at least extending left or right could be done for more displays too. Also replication could if the other displays are already in replica-mode.
