autorandr is a Python CLI tool that auto-detects connected display hardware and applies the matching saved X11 display configuration via xrandr. It can be triggered automatically on monitor hotplug, resume from suspend, or X11 login.

Use cases

  • automatically switch monitor layout when docking my laptop
  • save and restore xrandr display configurations per monitor setup
  • apply correct screen arrangement when connecting an external display
  • fix display resolution after waking from suspend
  • manage multi-monitor setups on X11 from the command line

When to choose

  • you use X11 on Linux and want automatic per-monitor-configuration display profiles
  • you need a lightweight script-based tool installable via major distro package managers
  • you use advanced xrandr options like --transform or --reflect

When to avoid

  • you run Wayland, which xrandr does not control
  • you need disper/NVIDIA auto-disper support, which only the legacy bash version offers
