...how am I to recommend this to others if a simple physical display resolution can not even be done anymore. Sorry, this is - in my view - no progress but a step back.
Seems more like 4-5 steps back since randr was conceived. Used to be X could itself perform the functions of cvt, gtf, xmode and/or randr, using a simple expression of desired resolution from xorg.conf to produce the user's preference, but can in many or most cases no longer, instead requiring running in advance any or more of several utilities, and putting their results in some startup script instead of a config file. -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive."
