Many thanks!<br><br>Well, my "problem" is that I have two monitors in clone mode. I have the tv signal and the lc monitor connected to my ATI graphic card, because with this way, I change my tv channel I can see the pc to can use XBMC. <br>
The problem is that I have a resolution of 1440x900 60hz in my monitor lcd (native resolution of my monitor LCD), and when I see in the tv is too small and I cant see very well the letters. <br>My main idea was that in a virtual desktop have a 1440x900 resolution and in other virtual desktop 1024x780 but now I know that is impossible.<br>
Do you help me to can change the resolution from a bash script?<br><br>Many thanks and sorry for my english!<br><br><br><div class="gmail_quote">2010/4/27 Duncan <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:1i5t5.duncan@cox.net">1i5t5.duncan@cox.net</a>></span><br>

</div>AFAIK, no, that's not possible, as it's xorg that handles screen<br>
resolution, and nobody has (yet) hooked up virtual desktop switching to<br>
the xorg screen resolution mechanism.<br>
<br>
It is, however, possible to change resolutions with a single command,<br>
xrandr, followed by the output you want to switch, the resolution, etc, on<br>
the command line, and given that, to create a script that simplifies<br>
things. I've done that here.<br>
<br>
And it is possible to hook either the individual commands or the script up<br>
to specific keyboard shortcuts, as it's possible to do with any command.<br>
<br>
At that point, it's a simple matter of hitting the hotkey sequence, and<br>
the resolution changes according to what the linked command invoked. I've<br>
done that here as well, with a whole series of hotkeys setup, to switch to<br>
any one of a whole set of screen resolution combinations (combinations, as<br>
I have dual monitors).<br>
<br>
In theory, then, you could setup a script that would change both the<br>
screen resolution and the virtual desktop, thus linking the concepts, but<br>
to my knowledge, no one has done so (yet?). And in practice, I'd guess<br>
that the need for such a thing is narrow enough that it's not likely to be<br>
implemented as a mass-market thing anyway. More likely, individual<br>
installations would hack a script together to do what they need, which is<br>
really what I've done here with my scripts, even though what I wanted (and<br>
implemented) wasn't exactly what you describe.<br>
<br>
That's a rather high level discussion. If you want a bit more detail, we<br>
can discuss things further. FWIW, I've used a combination of bash<br>
scripting, xrander invocation, and khotkey triggering, for my own solution.<br>
<br>
If you are interested, include some details like how many monitors you use<br>
and their relationship to each other, the resolutions your interested in,<br>
whether you know much about bash scripting so I know how much explanation<br>
I have to do, etc, and perhaps together, we can come up with at least the<br>
hotkey invoked resolution switching. I know that much works as I do it<br>
here. Hooking that into virtual desktop switching may be a bit more<br>
challenging, but we'll see.<br>
