Does this URandR work with ATI proprietary driver “fglrx”? If it does, It couldn’t be better to me…

@Spive
I think I can do it. I’m very busy in this period though.

Hi,

I hope you read this. This post is not about the ATI driver support since I have a intel card But I have something else to ask you: will there be profiles? so that you can select some options and save them as “beamer” for example and some different options, which you then save as “desktop”. now when you want to switch you just have to select the profile and not every option. it would also be nice to have a tray icon for that
that would really make it a killer app

Thank you. I tried your urandr with my Radeon RV250 [Mobility FireGL 9000].

At the first time I can use Multi-Head with Laptop-LCD an external LCD. Also he accepted diffent Resolution for both.

I mising support for TV (SVGA) – [dont no how?] and “nice to have” permanetly setting Again – Thank you

PS: I searched for you tool Envy New. But this dose’nt work. The ATI-Driver can’t support my OS? (Gutsy Gibbon)

@Jussi
Sure, I will.

In the meantime you can type:
cd /usr/share/urandr
sudo python randrgtk.py

Hei, Can you make this work in kubuntu also? The issue is that you are calling gksudo on line 3, which obviously does not work in a kde environment. kdesu is the equivalent. Here is a copy of the error in teerminal: /usr/bin/urandr: line 3: gksudo: command not found

Hope this helps

Thanks a million.

Ok, I can use threading and implement an “automatic revert” with a countdown (e.g. a popup which says: “your previous configuration will be restored in 15 seconds unless you click on OK”).

I’ll do it after Envy 0.9.8 is released.

Thanks for your feedback.

it might also be handy to have a automatic revert when pressing esc for when things go wrong
