no support to set primary output

[herchu]

It looks like there is no binding in current version to XRRSetOutputPrimary, which exists in latest version of xrandr. Is there any interest in supporting it?

I could work on patching the python code to add this, though this would also probably up the required version of xrandr to whichever-version-introducing-XRRSetOutputPrimary...

I would like to have this feature as well. I wrote a script recently (before knowing about this project here) for switching the primary display and I used cdll.LoadLibrary("libXrandr.so") and XRRSetOutputPrimary, however it did not work somehow, so I just fell back to running xrandr from inside the script... A nice binding would be preferable however.

Klaas, I also fell back to using xrandr from a script. My setup command, "a VGA ouput to the right of the LCD, and setup as primary", looks like: xrandr --output LVDS1 --auto --output VGA1 --auto --right-of LVDS1 --primary

It would be nicer if I had done it from python, but that's what I use for now :)

I hacking the xrandr.c in static void apply() function, it can be "Set the screen size" called screen_apply(), BUT there is set_primary()

so Python XRandR Binding could not set_size()
