XRandR 1.5.0 Adds Monitor Object Support

Written by Michael Larabel in X.Org on 23 February 2016 at 03:27 PM EST. Add A Comment

Version 1.5.0 of the XRandR (X11 Resize and Rotate) CLI utility for interfacing with the server's RandR extension has been released.

Notable about the xrandr 1.5.0 utility update is that it adds support for monitor objects from the RandR 1.5 extension. There are also a few fixes.

The XRandR 1.5.0 release was announced today by NVIDIA's Aaron Plattner.
