I am really stuck today everybody! Another problem with my lenny to squeeze
upgrade is that I am constantly getting this error:
Xlib: extension "RANDR" missing on display ":0.0".
This happens every time I run a program that opens a new window. Sometimes it
makes the program abort. I have my widescreen monitor in portrait mode
(rotated), so the display actually WORKS, but I no longer have the xrandr
program! So I can't go between landscape and portrait anymore:
$ xrandr
Xlib: extension "RANDR" missing on display ":0.0".
RandR extension missing
$
What in the world is going on??? I've done some research and it is a problem
that has occured when people use Xinerama with dual head setups ... however, I
am NOT using Xinerama and do NOT have a dual head system. I'm running a single
head system with the NVIDIA driver. All worked fine yesterday, then I upgraded
to squeeze, got the new NVIDIA driver running, and now this error happens
constantly. Is this a bug or do I have to reconfigure something?
I'm pasting some stats here...
