I’ve been working with the various incarnations of Red Hat Linux, including Fedora, since before the company went public.  In that time I’ve done more than just a few upgrades from one release to another.  With each upgrade I learn just a little more about administering my own Linux system.   […]

I’ve noticed a lot of searches on xrandr in my blog stats and have been wondering what the problem is.  Xrandr is a command line tool for enabling or disabling multiple display ports on your system as well as setting display resolution and even rotation.  You would use it, for […]
