Force xrandr 1.4 usage?

Question

I force enabled xrandr 1.2 with xrandr --q12.

How can I force xrandr to version 1.4? I've looked in man for information on doing so, but there isn't anything - xrandr --q14 doesn't work.

Any ideas?

The RandR protocol version 1.4 is used by default. Therefore you can only force the usage of RandR protocol version 1.2 and 1.1.

To start xrandr with the protocol version 1.4, do NOT use the --q12 or --q1 parameter.

Check your version with

$ xrandr --version
xrandr program version       1.4.1
Server reports RandR version 1.4
