From the manpage:
-q, --query
When this option is present, or when no configuration
changes are requested, xrandr will display the current state of the system.
So, the point of it appears to be either to report back the results of
configuration changes, or to display the initial state of the system
before the change. It depends on how "current state" is determined.
Yeah, that's a confusing option.
