Display (with Nexdock / ext display) configuration

Hardware Librem 5
24

It looks like kanshi fails because it tries to apply its config too quickly. The only thing that seems to work 80% of the time is this kludge:

~/.config/kanshi/config

profile alone {
	exec /home/purism/.config/kanshi/on-alone
	output DSI-1 enable scale 2
}

profile nexdock {
	exec /home/purism/.config/kanshi/on-nexdock
	output "Unknown NexDock 8R33926O00Q (DP-1)" enable
	output DSI-1
}

~/.config/kanshi/on-alone

#!/usr/bin/env bash

/usr/bin/wlr-randr --output DSI-1 --on
exec pkill -f -- '--app-id nexdock'

~/.config/kanshi/on-nexdock

#!/usr/bin/env bash

/usr/bin/gnome-session-inhibit --inhibit suspend:idle --inhibit-only --app-id nexdock --reason 'Nexdock session' &
sleep 3
exec /usr/bin/wlr-randr --output DSI-1 --off

So I’m basically just using wlr-randr instead of kanshi now: I only need it so I don’t have to write udev rules myself :person_shrugging:
