haven/nexgb/examples/randr/main.go

// Example randr uses the randr protocol to get information about the active
// heads. It also listens for events that are sent when the head configuration
// changes. Since it listens to events, you'll have to manually kill this
// process when you're done (i.e., ctrl+c.)
//
// While this program is running, if you use 'xrandr' to reconfigure your
// heads, you should see event information dumped to standard out.
//
// For more information, please see the RandR protocol spec:
// http://www.x.org/releases/X11R7.6/doc/randrproto/randrproto.txt
