Failed to get EDID for display

That's a bit of a hint. Normally the EDID should be a property
of each output.

% xrandr --verbose
Screen 0: minimum 320 x 200, current 1280 x 1024, maximum 1280 x 1280

                0.000000 0.000000 1.000000

And there are no other properties listed here, which is a bit suspicious.
It's hard to know from this though whether it's a bug or limitation in the
X server/display driver, a change in the XRANDR protocol that trips up
dispwin, or what.

What does
        xrandr --version
report ?

What graphics card is it, and what card driver and version of the X server is 
it ?

cheers,

Graeme Gill.
