Thanks your applet. It works perfectly at switching monitors and cloning them. I have a TV and computer sharing two flat screens and I needed a way to switch screens. I hadn't known about Disper. Multiple display users should install this applet. Makes life easier when juggling around screens and trying to access Panel from different displays.
Glad to hear you find it useful! Thanks!
This is a must-have for me and my 2 screen setup. However, the "disper --extend --direction=left" in the script doesn't work as expected. This is my physical configuration (representing monitors :) : [--][--] When I have only primary enabled through your script (right monitor) and then try to extend left, the primary monitor is missing the right side of the screen. Probably something with my setup but maybe you can give me a hint what could be wrong?
Ok, the problem has gone away after I connected my monitors properly to graphics card :)
