I search for randr with gconf-editor but found only two entries which I think are unrelated. I think this setting is creating problems at my end. Would you mind helping me to find that key?

I am still completely stuck with the newer Xorg on Thinkpad X24. Latest output from "xrandr -q" is now again back to

$ xrandr -q
