I wasn't aware of the --s1/--s12 options on Debian's xrandr (part of
the x11-xserver-utils) package, and don't see any patches for xrandr
to provide them on Debian stretch. I'm curious if this is/was a
vanilla Debian-provided xrandr?

According to the manpage, the xrandr options to force the 1.1/1.2
RandR protocols are --q1 and --q12 respectively.
