I share the part of my .xinitrc that deals with xrandr

# check if the tv I have home is connected...
if xrandr | grep -q "VGA1 connected 1360x768+0+0"
then
	xrandr --output VGA1 --mode 1920x1080 --pos 0x0 --output LVDS1 --mode 1366x768 --pos 560x1080
# if VGA1 is connected I assume to be at work...	
elif xrandr | grep -q "VGA1 connected"
then
	xrandr --output VGA1 --left-of LVDS1 --output LVDS1 --mode 1366x768
else
	# My laptop is without external screen
	xrandr --output LVDS1 --mode 1366x768
fi
