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. allan gottlieb -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
