13.2 Screen Change Notification

If some changes happen to the screen, hot-plugging, removal, or resolution change, then you can receive the notification.

One way is to use configure-notify-hook.(see X Hooks) Then the window argument is set to the symbol root. The other way is to use randr-change-notify-hook below. Both are called, but there’s no guarantee of the order.

Notice that both may be called several times for one change. For example, “xrandr” command invocation from shell triggers three calls of both hooks in an author’s environment.

Hook: randr-change-notify-hook

Called when screen configuration changes, via RandR extension support. When RandR is not supported, then this hook will never be called.
