The main interest of xrandr in my opinion is, that it is far easier to play with than what I can easily name the ugly Xorg.conf. Here are some examples: _ user can configure his screen himself, no need to sudo or su _ no need to restart anything, it's dynamic. You can add/move/remove/resize screens without any problem at your will. _ far easier to learn for a beginner: it took less than 10 minutes, while Xorg.conf will require hours of web browsing. And web browsing without a good resolution is a pain in... _ if your multiple screens have different resolutions, there is no "ghost space", so you can not loose your mouse cursor. _ it have nice GUI interfaces (I do not use them, but I think it is a power to have some) like lxrandr. So if you want a normal user to use it, he will not need to learn anything :) Considering that my 2 computers are some of the cheapest I know about (an eeepc laptop and a desktop repaired multiple times with 2 different screens, and one which will blow it's 10th candle this year, with its 1024x768 max resolution :D) this power of the randr extension is really comfortable. And nouveau supports all of this out of the box since at least 2 years, unlike NVidia. I think you should take a look at this http://nouveau.freedesktop.org/wiki/FeatureMatrix if you want to have a good viewing of were it is for your GPU.
