I was get the same error on Ubuntu 12.10....I could login via rdesktop (using remmina from Ubuntu desktop to remote server..both running 12.10)....was getting a desktop with no window controls...and now it has started running properly...and I don't know why ?

But here is my .xsession file for a good desktop...and it still has the randr error....

I have converted back to installing xubuntu-desktop 4.10. Still same problem. And the whole desktop doesn't feel like it's complete. Anyone have any idea how to fix this xrandr problem?

randr error when try to configure display

dummy@example.com (abubin) — Sun, 22 Jul 2012 11:15:56 +0000

I have just installed ubuntu 12.04LTS x64 on my server.

Then I added xfce repo to install xfce 4.10. After that I installed vnc4server and started xfce4 from vnc. Once problem that pops up when I try to open "display" configuration is my randr is version 1.1. Version 1.2 is needed.

So I ran a command to check randr and found as below:
xrandr program version 1.3.5
Server reports RandR version 1.1

Does this means server is detecting randr 1.1 whereas I actually have version 1.3.5?

I thought this could be something to do with xfce 4.10. So, I removed 4.10 and installed 4.8 which is from ubuntu 12.04's repo.

And same problem occured.

I have scoured the internet and found no solution for this. Anyone can help?
