multidisplay hack for #OpenBSD, #NetBSD xenodm/xdm.

#!/bin/ksh

# Define variables at the top for easy access
readonly MULTIDISPLAY_DIRECTION="--right-of"

# find list of connected monitors to span
monitors=$(xrandr --query | awk '/[^s]connected/{print $1}')

# the first monitor found will be the primary
primary=$(echo "$monitors" | head -n 1)

# initialize the xrandr command
xrandr_cmd="xrandr --output $primary --auto --primary"

# loop through the displays, assigning them --auto and MULTIDISPLAY_DIRECTION with randr
previous=$primary
for monitor in $monitors
do
    if [ "$monitor" != "$primary" ]; then
        xrandr_cmd+=" --output $monitor --auto $MULTIDISPLAY_DIRECTION $previous"
        previous=$monitor
    fi
done

# Execute the composed xrandr command
eval "$xrandr_cmd"

could drop in to your Xsetup_0 file. written in ksh, should work in OpenBSD’s ksh and NetBSD’s ksh.
