Thanks for sharing this script.
I adapted this script to automatically detect the screen resolution and make the correct adjustments based on those values (https://gist.github.com/npcardoso/ff937ebca6fc0a80ea3d).
I only tested it in a MBP 11,1 so let me know if it does not work for you.
I have macbook pro retina haswell 13' and this code doesn't work for my machine. How can I fix this problem ? Please help me !
Thanks for sharing. I modified it to automatically discover the adapter's name. In my case the adapter's name was "VGA-0" and not "DP-2" as I am running Ubuntu 14.04.02 on VirtualBox on MacBook Pro 15'.

Tested only in MacBookPro11,2.
