Hi there,
I want to use xrandr to switch one of the two connected monitors off as
soon as kdm has started, before someone logged in. (I couldn't manage it
with some options in xorg.conf)
If I execute "xrandr -display :0.0" in a boot script, I always get:
No protocol specified
Can't open display :0.0
I think that's because, another user than root owns the display. But I
don't know who.
If I execute xrandr, after a user logged in, as this user, it works.
Before someone logged in "who -a" gives:
system boot 2008-05-28 20:40
Runlevel 2 2008-05-28 20:40 last=
LOGIN tty4 2008-05-28 20:40 4654 id=4
LOGIN tty5 2008-05-28 20:40 4655 id=5
root - tty2 2008-05-28 22:18 . 10534
LOGIN tty6 2008-05-28 20:40 4661 id=6
LOGIN tty1 2008-05-28 20:40 5663 id=1
LOGIN tty2 2008-05-28 20:54 6717 id=2
LOGIN tty3 2008-05-28 20:54 6722 id=3
:0 2008-05-28 22:18 0 id=:%K
term=0 exit=0
LOGIN tty2 2008-05-28 21:24 10534 id=2
So it doesn't show any user who owns display :0
So how can I execute xrandr before someone logged in?
Thanks for any help
Cheers
Kilian
