Hi,
I currently run my desktop system with two monitors, the original Iiyama on
DVI-D and a cheap Hanns-G on the HDMI. The Iiyama is the primary and the one I
use all the time, the Hanns-G is only required some of the time.
As far as I can tell X and xrandr is able to detect both devices when they are
plugged in but can't actually tell me when they are switched on or off. So if I
only have one monitor powered on (even at the mains) xrandr reports both
present and hence X and KDE think that there are two monitors in situ.
I can write a small script to manually change from a 1 to 2 monitor set-up,
which isn't a problem, I just wondered if anyone knows how to detect if there
is a monitor plugged in but switched off?
