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.

That's just a bit behind the times. I don't think it relates to your
problem, but it might. Latest stable is 7.1 (1.3.0), dated April 2007.

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.

These are the correct X modules.

It's "suggest a solution". (English isn't heavy on reflexive pronouns,
unlike some other languages.)

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.
