I followed the path of calling ApplyConfiguration from a script upon
docking, and while it is not pretty, it basically works:
# cat /etc/udev/rules.d/80-thinkpad-T61.rules
KERNEL=="dock.0", ATTR{docked}=="1", RUN+="/usr/local/bin/dock.sh 1"
KERNEL=="dock.0", ATTR{docked}=="0", RUN+="/usr/local/bin/dock.sh 0"
# cat /usr/local/bin/dock.sh
#!/bin/sh
LOG=/tmp/dock.$$
echo "Called dock.sh with $@, proceeding" > ${LOG}
if [ $1 -eq 1 ]; then
DISPLAY=:0.0
export DISPLAY
sudo -u ubuntu dbus-send --type="method_call" --print-reply --session
--dest=org.gnome.SettingsDaemon /org/gnome/SettingsDaemon/XRANDR
org.gnome.SettingsDaemon.XRANDR.ApplyConfiguration 2>&1 >> ${LOG}
fi
echo "Done docking" >> ${LOG}
Is this path worth pursuing or is this approach out of question for fixing the
problem?
