# Get monitors configuration from monitor.xml and apply it for current user session. | |
# In case of multiple definitions in monitor.xml only first one is used. | |
# | |
# See http://bernaerts.dyndns.org/linux/74-ubuntu/309-ubuntu-dual-display-monitor-position-lost | |
# for instructions | |
# | |
# Parameters : | |
# $1 : profile name, loaded from $HOME/.config/monitors-$1.xml" | |
# $2 : waiting time in sec. before forcing configuration (optional) | |
# | |
# Revision history : | |
# 19/04/2014, V1.0 - Creation by N. Bernaerts | |
# 10/07/2014, V1.1 - Wait 5 seconds for X to fully initialize | |
# 01/09/2014, V1.2 - Correct NULL file bug (thanks to Ivan Harmady) and handle rotation | |
# 07/10/2014, V1.3 - Add monitors size and rate handling (idea from jescalante) | |
# 08/10/2014, V1.4 - Handle primary display parameter | |
# 08/12/2014, V1.5 - Waiting time in seconds becomes a parameter | |
# 23/08/2017, V1.6 - Support multiple profiles (~relet) | |
