* xrandr.overwrite_i3config: If set to 'true', this module assembles a new i3 config
every time a screen is enabled or disabled by taking the file "~/.config/i3/config.template"
and appending a file "~/.config/i3/config.<screen name>" for every screen.
* xrandr.autoupdate: If set to 'false', does *not* invoke xrandr automatically. Instead, the
module will only refresh when displays are enabled or disabled (defaults to false)
Requires the following executable:
* xrandr
