Additional background info. This was caused because some update remove the packages xserver-xorg-video-ati and xserver-xorg-video-radeon. As result, I get only a default screen and probably with standard drivers detection the freq and other properties could not be detected, but the warnings are showed.

Thank you, I assume you were using vesa then, it probably doesn't support xrandr which is required by that tool

The bug is old and had seen no activity in years, the tools/stack saw quite some changes since which probably deprecate the issue, closing. Feel free to report a new bug if you still have issues in newer versions though
