Enable Monitor Or Projector Connected To Crunchbang via VGA Port

Hello Guys,

After installing Crunchbang, you want to connect your laptop to a monitor or projector which you normally connect to the VGA Port. This is done in most systems systems automatically when connected and can can be switched between using the combination of  Super (Window Logo) key + P. But it is not possible in Crunchbang.

In this tutorial I will show to simply enable/disable view on projector or monitor. The tool that will help is ARandR Screen Layout Editor.

ARandR

Launch ARanR by

Right Click on the Desktop – > Display Settings – > ARandR Screen Layout Editor.

AR1

Activating device connected to VGA Port.

Go to Outputs – > VGA – > Activate.

VGA_Activate

Press Ctrl + Enter Or Click Apply, to apply changes.

For VGA (Monitor or Projector) only, Deactivate other outputs and apply changes.

VGA_only

 For all outputs (I have two) activate both and apply changes.

Booth_ActiveYou can also save current settings from ARandR Screen Layout Editor and use then later by using Open and selecting file.
