Debian 8.2 Jessie / Gnome - Autosetup with three screens
I put together this little collection of snippets to get around having to manually setup each time.
My laptop is a DELL XPS13 9343 running kernel 4.2.3 with Debian Jessie 8.2 and Gnome
and my DELL D3100 is connected to three identical monitors.
Perhaps it's of use to you. YMMV. No support given.
/etc/udev/rules.d/20-displaylink-add.rules
Code:
ACTION=="add", SUBSYSTEMS=="usb", ATTRS{idVendor}=="17e9", ATTRS{idProduct}=="436e" RUN+="/bin/systemctl start displaylink.service"
/etc/udev/rules.d/20-displaylink-remove.rules
Code:
ACTION=="remove", SUBSYSTEMS=="usb", ATTRS{idVendor}=="17e9", ATTRS{idProduct}=="436e" RUN+="/bin/sh -c '/bin/systemctl stop displaylink.service; /usr/bin/xrandr --output eDP1 --auto'"
