hmm ok. then we don't have an e error here...

either

  1. xserver is broken - randr just has no idea whats going on, and e just knows
what randr tells it, so not much we can do...

OR

  2. you aren't using randr... you're using old-fashioned multihead setup and
you have another SCREEN there. xdpyinfo will list all screens - normally you
have only screen #0, but if you have multihead you'll have screen #1 (or more).
there is no way to dynamically configure this via x, so you must have
configured this via xorg.conf or some custom driver-specific tool, but if you
have multihead... it's in your ballcourt as there is no way we can modify it,
configure it or otherwise de-configure it for you.
