To be sure, please give me the output `xrandr` without any options, and of `xrandr --verbose` -- but this sounds a lot like a bug in xrandr and not arandr. (even with VGA2 absent, `xrandr --output foobar -d :0` gives me `warning: output foobar not found; ignoring`.

Please include `xrandr --version` as well.

Same issue on Ubuntu 16.04 LTS, xserver-common 2:1.18.3-1ubuntu2.3

[Launchpad Janitor (janitor)]

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

[Timo Aaltonen (tjaalton)]

you are trying to force VGA to use the same resolution as DVI? That's not going to work, because VGA doesn't support 1080p
