[Bug 737891] Re: gnome-display-properties unable to correctly enable monitors connected to VGA

 

@seb128, it appears to me that in fact they *do* use the same API into
X.  Please provide additional references as to the difference in api
usage.

gnome-desktop's gnome-rr.c file is a wrapper around libXrandr:

#ifdef HAVE_RANDR
#include <X11/extensions/Xrandr.h>
#endif

The xrandr tool also uses libXrandr.h.  Both codebases implement similar
logic with analogous but not equivalent code, but underneath they're
both utilizing libXrandr.  So, where a problem exists when using one
tool but not the other it does indeed point to something wrong with the
utility and not in the underlying X code.


** Package changed: xorg-server (Ubuntu) => gnome-control-center
(Ubuntu)
