Dear Ubuntu users,

I am running Xubuntu 14.04 and I wonder how to automatically load display settings when I hot-plug some particular display.

Currently, I have allowed "Configure new displays when connected" in "Settings manager" -> "Display". So when I connect external display, basic configuration will automatically pop up (like when you press Super + P), there I need to select "Extend" and finally run "arandr" to rearrange displays.

My question is, how to automate this process. It takes just a few seconds, but I am forced to do this several times a day. For other random displays (occasionally some projectors etc.) current process is sufficient.

Thank you very much for your help!
