[Nottingham] Short cut to fix screen resolution

[Moppett Iain]

Ta.

I shall try and write my first script along the lines of:

"Xrandr -s 0"

What I found on the web was...

-----

#!/bin/sh

# run game

res="$(xrandr -q|grep '^\*')"
if [[ "${res:1:1}" != 0 ]]; then
        xrandr -s 0
Fi

---------

Is there any need to include all the grep bits?  I have no idea what it
means.  I assume that its looking for a regular expression, but it all
seems abit complicated.

Iain

There's mention of gcompris using xrandr to render in fullscreen here: 
http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=331476

Perhaps there's a bug listed under launchpad for edubuntu.
