  1. I'm interested in looking into the xrandr source code.
    I googled xrandr source code, and found this code from Apple's opensource site. Is that all of it?
    I don't think so, because one comment says:

Thanks to Jim Gettys who wrote most of the client side code, and part of the server code for randr.

Where can I find the entire source-code?

  1. The Gentoo wiki makes a point regarding xrandr:

Adding the mode manually does not make the monitor work in the mode if it did not work before.

So this means there's no problem with RandR? The problem is with monitor and GPU support?

You can get any source code from the repository’s, first open software and updates and check source code

enter image description here

Now you can use the source parameter in apt to pull any source right from the repos, xrandr is part of x11-xserver-utils, so use this command

apt-get source x11-xserver-utils
