Well, I tried, but it does work. And the arandr scripts I told you about
before do not make the trick either. ("Have you tested *enough* ?", used to
say my boss...).
How can I ensure that xrandr is loaded? Do you need to see some of my
configuration files to help me? The /etc/X11/notion directory is a little
messy from my point of view, but I didn't make any change in it, except
adding the dopath("xrandr") to cfg_defaults.lua.
