What is the Ubuntu linux command to find laptop monitor size? I want to know in inches if possible.
Thanks
Is there a way to query monitor information from command line? For example, get monitor model, similar to e.g. what lspci does for graphic card info, or whether it's currently on or off, things like that.
If possible, what kinds of basic information such as the above can be easily gathered? For example, is it possible to determine if monitor is in portrait or landscape position? Or if it has built-in speakers or not?
Command line is the preference, but if there's a GUI method, I'd like to hear about it, too.
Is there a command that will list displays connected to the computer?
Specifically, I'm looking to find out how my external monitor is being detected by the system when connected by HDMI cable and what it's (not sure of the correct term here) hardware address is (eg. "CRT-0" or "DFP-1").
This is just a general question, but for reference, I'm using:
- Asus UL30JT laptop - running Ubuntu 12.04 beta and 11.10
- Asus PA238 23" monitor
- HDMI 1.4 cable
- Optimus graphics (Intel + nVidia GeForce 310M) - running with Bumblebee
After installing Ubuntu 10.04 with my Samsung SyncMaster B2030, native resolution (1600X900) is not found in the list of resolutions.
What is the procedure to calibrate the monitor and what software to use?
Edit: I think what I mean is "colour profile" if that's what it is called. I happened to notice that the same photos look very differently indeed on my home laptop and on other computers…
