Hello,

It says the extension is enabled, but it seems it hasn't been
initialized / loaded. My output has a line (not directly) after it
indicating that the extension is initialized.

[...]
(==) RandR enabled
[...]
(II) Initializing built-in extension RANDR

Could you please check if you have it too?

Best Regards,
Ale
