Not only the xrandr package must be installed, also the xrandr header files. In 
many distributions that is a seperate package called xrandr-devel or something 
like that.

xrandr is used to show display resolution the monitor can actually handle. 
Without xrandr support, it will use a standard list of resolutions, 
independend of the capabilities of your monitor (so it might not be possible 
to select the optimal resolution).
