Good day. The ScreenCount is not a RANDR call. This is from CORE multihead support attempt. That model have a large pile of drawbacks now: it is very hard to move window from one monitor to another, or to dynamically make second monitor a copy of first one, or join monitors in other sensible configura- tion. In fact, distinct screens was almost isolated from each other. Therefore, in attempt to have a good support of multihead, new extensions introduced, that lists all monitors in one CORE X11 screen, and manipulates them by itsel: first was Xinerama, than (and now) RANDR. The CORE multiple screens is almost unsed now (well, AFAIK fglrx creates two screens on dual-GPU notebooks: one with slow in-CPU accelerator, and one with discrete GPU). So you should read RANDR spec to get information about yoour monitors.

I'm completely lost It is very strange that you see some result of xrandr --auto. Usually, it is completely silent. xrandr -q is for getting in- formation. _______________________________________________ [email protected]: X.Org support Archives: http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/xorg Info: https://lists.x.org/mailman/listinfo/xorg Your subscription address: %(user_address)s
