The output from xrandr seems to have changed quite a lot: What you can do with xrandr has also changed: it's now used to control multihead layouts too, rather than just switching resolution/rotation on a single head. You can now do things like: xrandr \ --dpi 96 \ --output DVI-0 --mode 1920x1200 --pos 0x0 \ --output VGA-0 --mode 1024x768 --right-of DVI-0 The downside is that a graphical frontend now needs to know about this in order to avoid clobbering an existing multihead layout -- XFCE's session manager doesn't, for example, which caused me problems.
