Automating My 8K Monitor Setup with Grobi
2025-05-10
The author uses a Dell 32-inch 8K monitor and encountered configuration issues after waking up the computer from sleep. Previously, manual SSH connection and running xrandr commands were necessary. Now, the author uses the Grobi program to automate the monitor configuration, solving this problem. Grobi listens for X11 RandR output change events and automatically runs xrandr to configure resolution and positioning. Additionally, the author uses the zleep program and a myStrom smart plug to control the monitor's power, saving energy.
