I have a laptop that I frequently use with an external monitor, but on
the lefthand side. Now by default, XFCE assumes that I want the monitor
to be on the right, and the top of the laptop to be even with the top of
the external monitor. I would love it if there's a way to get it to
assume I want the external monitor on the left with the laptop
bottom-justified to that instead. What's the best way to accomplish this?
Check out the xrandr man page. I have two dissimilar monitors on my
desktop and ensure that they're properly set up as follows:
xrandr --output DVI-I-1 --mode 1920x1080
xrandr --output DVI-I-2 --mode 1280x1024 --right-of DVI-I-1
That --right-of parameter tells it that my smaller monitor is to the
right of my larger one - I could use --left-of if I wanted it on the
other side. I'm not sure how you'd do justification, though.
