Chooses the scaling filter method to be applied when the screen
is scaled or transformed. Can be either ’bilinear’ or ’nearest’.
--scale x[xy]
Changes the dimensions of the output picture. If the y value is
omitted, the x value will be used for both dimensions. Values
larger than 1 lead to a compressed screen (screen dimension big‐
ger than the dimension of the output mode), and values less than
1 lead to a zoom in on the output. This option is actually a
shortcut version of the --transform option.
--scale‐from wxh
Specifies the size in pixels of the area of the framebuffer to be
displayed on this output. This option is actually a shortcut
version of the --transform option.
--primary
Set the output as primary. It will be sorted first in Xinerama
and RANDR geometry requests.
RandR version 1.2 options
These options are only available for X server supporting RandR version
1.2 or newer.
--prop, --properties
This option causes xrandr to display the contents of properties
for each output. --verbose also enables --prop.
--fb widthxheight
Reconfigures the screen to the specified size. All configured
monitors must fit within this size. When this option is not pro‐
vided, xrandr computes the smallest screen size that will hold
the set of configured outputs; this option provides a way to
override that behaviour.
--fbmm widthxheight
Sets the value reported as physical size of the X screen as a
whole (union of all configured monitors). In configurations with
multiple monitors with different DPIs, the value has no physical
meaning, but it may be used by some legacy clients which do not
support RandR version 1.2 to compute a reference font scaling.
Normally, xrandr resets the reported physical size values to keep
the DPI constant. This overrides that computation. Default DPI
value is 96.
--dpi dpi
--dpi from‐output
This also sets the value reported as physical size of the X
screen as a whole (union of all configured monitors). In configu‐
rations with multiple monitors with different DPIs, the value has
no physical meaning, but it may be used by some legacy clients
which do not support RandR version 1.2 to compute a reference
font scaling. This option uses either the specified DPI value, or
the DPI of the given output, to compute an appropriate physical
size using whatever pixel size will be set. Typical values are
the default (96 DPI), the DPI of the only monitor in single‐moni‐
tor configurations, or the DPI of the primary monitor in multi‐
monitor configurations.
--newmode name mode
New modelines can be added to the server and then associated with
outputs. This option does the former. The mode is specified us‐
ing the ModeLine syntax for xorg.conf: clock hdisp hsyncstart
hsyncend htotal vdisp vsyncstart vsyncend vtotal flags. flags can
be zero or more of +HSync, ‐HSync, +VSync, ‐VSync, Interlace,
DoubleScan, CSync, +CSync, ‐CSync. Several tools permit to com‐
pute the usual modeline from a height, width, and refresh rate,
for instance you can use cvt.
--rmmode name
This removes a mode from the server if it is otherwise unused.
--addmode output name
Add a mode to the set of valid modes for an
