Code: Select all

xrandr: Failed to get size of gamma for output default
Screen 0: minimum 1024 x 768, current 1024 x 768, maximum 1024 x 768
default connected primary 1024x768+0+0 0mm x 0mm
   1024x768      76.00* 
   
and in preferences under display,
I get only red screen, calling "Laptop defaults", second monitor is not ditected at all.

Linux mint 18.3 cinnamon 64 bit
