 I feel that this RandR feature is a must have. A lot of people was 
complaining about it a long time.
Now it is there and it is not included ? That would really be a pitty. I have 
read about the RandR at the release notes of Xfree 4.3.0, so it is maybe 
really late to think about it. If I would have read about it earlier, I had 
asked earlier.  I would say it is very important to have it included. The 
best would be to have a keyboard shortcut for changing the physical 
resolution, very similar to the shortcut for changing the virtual resolution. 
But that may be a dream and may be it is not possible. 

The next question: How do the small wm handle RandR ? (IceWM, XFCE, BlackBox 
&Co ?) Are there any of them that can handle it ?
