BSPWM, laptop has 1920x1080 resolution, external screen has 1680x1050.
xrandr --output DP-1 1680x1050
cuts image, if I change resolution to 1920x1080, I get “full” image, but quality is just bad.
I have another machine with XFCE, it’s display utility does the trick and I wonder can I achieve smth similar on BSPWM with some simple console command?
Ah, I thought you were displaying on both outputs, not switching between them, hence my mirroring comment. I suspect XFCE, not the DM, detects the output change and takes care of it. You might need to emulate that behavior with a hook of some type that you have to setup yourself with the tiling WM, and you might have to
--off
the unused display. I’d be willing to bet you can find some sort of hook script out there that can do this, I seem to recall an autorandr program I used in the past where you could set up output profiles. I hope that helps, maybe a little bit.
