Post the output of "X -version", "lspci | grep VGA", and "grep Driver /etc/X11/xorg.conf". RANDR should be automatically loaded if you're using the appropriate X module for your video card, so I would guess you're using VESA or something. -- Programmers are playwrights, computers are lousy actors, Users are vicious drama critics, Bastard Operators From Hell burn down theatres!

I don't think it relates to your problem, but it might. Latest stable is 7.1 (1.3.0), dated April 2007. > 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 82845G > 02:0a.0 VGA compatible controller: Cirrus Logic GD 5446 (rev 45) 2 video cards. OK. Those Cirrus cards are pretty old, and they may not do all the things that newer cards can do. Are you using Xinerama, or separate Screens, or what? I don't know how xrandr interacts with machines that are using Xinerama or multiple screens as every machine I have now is single-head. > Driver "cirrus" > Driver "i810" These are the correct X modules. > Suggest me the solution. It's "suggest a solution". (English isn't heavy on reflexive pronouns, unlike some other languages.) > I am facing [the] same problem on [the] Xinerama extension also. Post your /var/log/Xorg.0.log and your /etc/X11/xorg.conf to your webspace (*not* to the newsgroup!) and follow up with URLs. It's possible that your X config is messed up in some way or you need Load "xinerama" in the Module section or something. I don't know for sure since all my machines are single-head. -- "We all get our dreams stamped on from time to time, right?
