Tools to improve display setup

Files

• startup.sh: run on startup (own responsibility; I added a line to ~/.profile), detect hardware and decide what to do next
• nvidia.sh: called by startup.sh in case the nvidia gpu is deemed active
• intel.sh: called by startup.sh when the pc runs on internal graphics (when no nvidia gpu is found on pci)
• scale.sh: simplified api for xrandr scaling, e.g. called by intel.sh

Detect gpu

• lshw
  • if nvidia on pci, assume nvidia
  • else assume intel
• lspci
  • same

Useful commands

• Scripts need to have execute permissions, before you can run them: chmod 750 file.sh

Notes

x.conf -> nvidia-xconfig? https://askubuntu.com/a/217772
