Rotate Screen
xrandr lets you rotate screens.
$ xrandr -o left
Dual-head Displays
If for some reason your dual-head configuration isn't being saved properly, you can use xrandr to adjust the screens as part of a login-script.
Something along the lines of:
# xrandr --output DVI-1-0 --mode 1920x1080 --primary \
--output DisplayPort-1-2 --mode 1920x1080 --right-of DVI-1-0 \
--output HDMI1 --mode 1920x1080 --same-as DisplayPort-1-2
Controlling Screen Power/Sleep
| Command | Description |
|---|---|
$ xset dpms force on
$ xset s reset # may be required to unblank screen
|
Turn on screen |
$ xset dpms force off
|
Turn off screen |
$ xset +dpms
$ xset dpms 600 600 600
|
Enable sleep (eg. after 10 minutes) |
$ xset -dpms
|
Disables sleep |
You may also use xset -q to get the current display status.
