Hi,
Sorry - have been trying many options to get this working. I have
restored the xorg.conf as follows (from your earlier post)

Section "ServerLayout"
  Identifier     "Layout0"

  SubSection     "Display"
      Depth       24
      Modes      "1440x900_60"
  EndSubSection
EndSection


However, even with that xorg.conf when I run DISPLAY=:0.0 xrandr -q I still get:
