Sounds like the server doesn't implement RandR version 1.2 What does xrandr -v say. For me it is Server reports RandR version 1.2 If you don't have 1.2 you won't have the --output stuff. Also --on doesn't exist even in 1.2. I found man xrandr helpful. Randr 1.2 was introduced in xorg

I have tested xrandr but it is useless for me! I tried various things but neither of them seem to have any effect on my secondary screen. I can only change the configuration of my primary monitor. Disabling randr in xorg conf has no effect too. Does anybody know what changes have to be done in

I found a bug at archlinux [1] which is describing my problem. There are two pictures attached. I have exactly the same problem. This bug was closed as wont fix because it should be a nvidia problem. This is possible, but i don't think so as the upgrade of xorg-server package obviously caused

Hi, the update to xorg-server-1.3 broke my dual-screen setup. It creates a virtual screen size with the same size of the primary monitor for the second monitor which is my TV. So i can only reach a zone with 800x600 on the second device, even scrolling within the virtual screen is impossible. I
