About Python-RandR v0.9.x


Python-RandR, a free open source QT GUI program written in Python.

What can this program do exactly?
This program makes it possible to control attached screens. It is possible to change resolutions and to rotate screens. TV settings can be configured (e.g. changing TV signal from NTSC to PAL).

It is possible to clone a screen to other screens, but there is also the choice to extend your screen to other screens. Besides that, it is also possible to save chosen layouts/settings.

How does it works?
You can read more about the working at the howto. This information is also available at the Instructions in the menu Info of Python-RandR. See also the screenshots.
