46 is used to set the screen size, orientation and/or reflection.
49 option is a small integer index used to specify which size the screen should be set to.
50 To find out what sizes are available, use the
52 option, which reports the sizes available, the current rotation, and
53 the possible rotations and reflections.
54 The default size is the first size specified in the list.
57 option is used to specify the orientation of the screen,
59 \fI"normal inverted left right 0 1 2 3"\fP.
63 option instructs the server to reflect the screen on the X axis.
66 option instructs the server to reflect the screen on the Y axis.
67 Reflection is applied after rotation.
71 option prints out a usage summary.
74 option tells you what xrandr is doing, selects for events, and tells you
75 when events are received to enable debugging.
78 Randr version 1.2 adds numerous new capabilities to the extension which
79 are supported by new options to the xrandr program.
83 option sets the new pixel size of the screen (e.g. --fb 320x200). If left unspecified, the
84 screen is set to just fit the specified outputs.
87 option changes the dpi of the screen (e.g. -dpi 96). If left unspecified,
88 the dpi is left unchanged by any screen size changes.
92 option selects an output (either by name or XID in hex) to change with any
93 of the following parameters. More than one output may be changed per
99 option specifies the desired crtc by XID. If left unspecified, an unused
103 option selects the desired output mode, either by name or XID. If left
104 unspecified, the mode will be left unchanged.
107 option selects where to position the output within the screen (e.g. --pos
108 320x0). If left unspecified, the position will be left unchanged, or set to
109 0x0 if the output is currently disabled.
112 option disables the specified output completely.
