If you use the "provides" function of the apps gui, you'll see that xrandr is provided by Xorg-7.7-bin

You could add xrandr to tags inside Xorg-7.7-bin in 32-bit and 64-bit version.

Hi neonix
Why just add xrandr to tags? Maybe we should add the other 42
file names too. ::)

Tags are for providing hints of an extensions function or purpose.
Provides is for locating which extension(s) contain a filename.

If you want to make tinycore more user friendly I will be very happy if you do this. In the past xrandr was alone extension.

Hi neonix
TC10 x86 and TC14 x86_64 have xrandr included in Xorg-7.7-bin.tcz.
There is a separate  lxrandr.tcz  extension.
