I believe that I have previously posted this, for eac of the four
operating systems, or, at least, for the two Debian ones.
I am currently in the Debian 7 installation.
Using a gnome classic session (as the nearest equivalent to, but, not
as good as, gnome 2), from the Applications menu,
System Tools -> Preferences -> Monitor Settings
shows
"The following monitor is detected"
Using the <About> button in hat dialogue box, shows it to be using
LXRandR 0.1.2
