Normally I'd say to check whether mod_xrandr is loaded you could do:

  notionflux -e 'return package.loaded["mod_xrandr"]'

However, this doesn't actually work.. I just fixed this in the latest git
version.

For older versions, you can do something like:

  notionflux -e 'return mod_xrandr.get_outputs'

If mod_xrandr is loaded, this will show something like 'function :
0x2191100'.

Which version of notion are you using?

Kind regards,

Arnout
