CONFIGURATION

       To prevent a profile from being loaded, place a script called "block" in its  directory.  The  script  is
       evaluated  before  the screen setup is inspected, and in case of it returning a value of 0 the profile is
       skipped. This can be used to query the status of a docking station you are about to leave.

       If no suitable profile can be identified, the current configuration is kept.  To  change  this  behaviour
       and switch to a fallback configuration, specify --default <profile>.

       Another script called "postswitch" can be placed in the directory ~/.config/autorandr (or ~/.autorandr if
       you have an old installation) as well as in any profile directories: The scripts  are  executed  after  a
       mode switch has taken place and can notify window managers.

VIRTUAL CONFIGURATIONS

       The following virtual configurations are available:

       common Clone all connected outputs at the largest common resolution

       clone-largest
              Clone all connected outputs with the largest resolution (scaled down if necessary)

       horizontal
              Stack all connected outputs horizontally at their largest resolution

       vertical
              Stack all connected outputs vertically at their largest resolution

EXAMPLES

       # save the current setup and make it the default
       autorandr --save mysetup
       autorandr --default mysetup
       # put laptop in dock (or plug in additional monitors)
       # run appropriate xrandr commands to fix things up
       autorandr --save docked_setup
       # now remove the laptop from the dock, and settings return to mysetup
