dear all...
while my application works in windows I can use
windows.changedisplaysettings...
while in linux (in my case ubuntu, but I hope there is a general
solution for linux) how can I do?

I am creating a preference menu in the application from which the user
can access to the display settings...


I am sure I have seen a similar question some months ago in the forum,
but now I cannot find it!

thank you,
Paolo

You could use TProcess to execute xrandr.
