Typing "xrandr" with no option will allow you to list the monitors actually seen by X. For example I have eDP1, VGA1 and HDMI1 as possible names for my current configuration : $ xrandr Screen 0: minimum 320 x 200, current 1366 x 768, maximum 8192 x 8192 eDP1 connected 1366x768+0+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 344mm x 194mm 1366x768 60.03*+ 40.01 1360x768 59.80 59.96 VGA1 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) HDMI1 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) francois
