Robert,

I wanted to play around with this on my other 8-CURRENT laptop, but it
says:

$ xrandr
Xlib:  extension "RANDR" missing on display ":0.0".
RandR extension missing

but it should be there:

$ pkg_info | fgrep randr
libXrandr-1.3.0     X Resize and Rotate extension library
randrproto-1.3.0    Randr extension headers
xrandr-1.3.0        Primitive command line interface to the RandR extension

$ fgrep -i randr /var/log/Xorg.0.log
(II) NVIDIA(0):     will be available via XRandR and XF86VidMode):
(II) NVIDIA(1):     will be available via XRandR and XF86VidMode):
(==) RandR enabled
(==) RandR enabled
(II) Initializing built-in extension RANDR

What is wrong? Thx
