    Change resolution on the fly via a command-line [SOLVED]

    Hello,
    I can change my screen resolution on the fly via the preference menu. I would like to be able to do the same from command line. The problem is my hardware can't play movies in full resolution. I would like to create a script to change the resolution to 1280x720 when I open VLC and set it back to 1920x1080 when it closes. How can I do that ?

    Thank you

    I found the solution, with the xrandr command :

    xrandr --output default --mode 1280x720

    xrandr --output default --mode 1920x1080
