如何通过Xlib观察连接的监视器的变化?

标签: x11 xlib xrandr

我正在尝试编写一个程序来检测插入的外部监视器,并通过Xlib自动启用和配置它们。我知道有XRandr扩展允许这个。我的问题是,如何启用接收XRandr事件到我的应用程序?我应该使用什么事件掩码?我知道xev app能够做到这一点。

Xev的源代码:

或者:

  • git clone git://anongit.freedesktop.org/xorg/app/xev

对于第二部分,我直接向nvidia-settings发布配置。

我把第一部分从我能找到的部分拼凑在一起,以便我的HTPC系统连接到可怕的过扫描电视,可以在电视开启时重置屏幕环境。

我有兴趣看到我努力的纯C端口......
