Description:

Whenever I activate the xinerama option in the nvidia driver to have an extended desktop in my two monitors the following annoying message is echoed when opening and xwindow program:

Xlib: extension "RANDR" missing on display ":0.0"

The execution of the program is otherwise apparently normal. I have also plenty of these messages in my .xsessions-error file. Does anybody experience the same problem?

Here it is my /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-monitor.conf file with the xinerama activated:

# nvidia-settings: X configuration file generated by nvidia-settings
# nvidia-settings: version 260.19.36 (buildmeister@swio-display-x86-rhel47-01.nvidia.com) Tue Jan 18 17:15:10 PST 2011

Reason for closing:  Upstream
Additional comments about closing:  This is a limitation of using Nvidia drivers. Nvidia doesn't support multi-display using xrandr.
