I use krandr at work and home, with my Lenovo W500. I currently have to manually change the layout for each circumstance I encounter. For example, at my desk at work I have a 24" 1920x1280 monitor (VGA-0) to the left of LVDS. In meetings, I have just LVDS (1900x1280) or LVDS and a projector with an arbitrary resolution and at home I have a 14" 1280x1024 monitor (DVI-0) to the left of LVDS. If it's possible to query a monitor for a unique ID, I would like krandr to recognise screens and projectors and remember the last configuration set (resolution, position & orientation, &c.). Even if identifying monitors uniquely isn't possible, then profiling its modelines might be enough to make a good enough guess at the last configuration. Just that would save a lot of wasted time. Finally (and I post this as part of the same idea), krandr profiles should be able to be saved and recalled by the user. There's almost the capability there already, with the 'default' setting - this could be extended to include named profiles.

Thoughts?

Noh.Way

I'm not sure about GNOME 3 (I haven't test it intesively), but GNOME 2 used to be very smart in this sense. It remembered the setup for each display configuration. You could move from your two display setup at home, to work on the road and then arrive at the office with another different setup without the need of opening any user intervention.
