Description Alex Fiestas 2013-02-09 17:57:15 UTC 
We should support the 1.1 version of XRandR since it is required by some vnc servers and virtualization software (vmware).



Reproducible: Always
Comment 1 Alex Fiestas 2013-02-09 17:57:30 UTC 
Set as a wish
Comment 2 markuss 2013-07-24 23:10:11 UTC 
Is this why KScreen tells me as a NVidia user that "No supported X Window System extension found"?
Comment 3 Daniel Vrátil 2013-07-25 10:43:57 UTC 
No, we have full support for XRandR 1.1, this bug is blocked by missing unit tests for the backend.

Current NVidia (both proprietary and opensource) drivers implement XRandR 1.4 (you can check your xrandr version by typing xrandr --version in console), so your problem is somewhere else.
Comment 4 Christoph Feck 2013-08-10 12:59:44 UTC 
Markus, if you use openSUSE packages, make sure you install all kscreen related packages. From what I see, some of the packages should depend on the one supplying the plugins, but it does not. You could report that separately to the openSUSE bug tracker.
Comment 5 Sebastian Kügler 2016-02-02 15:32:56 UTC 
We're not going to implement unit tests for X11 setups, keeping this bug open would suggest we plan for it, but we don't.

Reopen if you're interested.

(For wayland, it's of course entirely possible.)
