How to disable RandR?

[Gforce20]

I'm attempting to disable RandR so that fglrx can control X without interference. I've already followed this advice from another thread, but aticonfig still indicates that RandR is active:

$ aticonfig --enable-monitor=0
Error: option --enable-monitor is not supported when RandR 1.2 is enabled!

Xorg.0.log does not seem to clearly indicate either way.

$ cat Xorg.0.log | grep -i randr
(II) fglrx(0): RandR 1.2 support is enabled!
(II) fglrx(0): RandR 1.2 rotation support is enabled!
(WW) fglrx(0): Option "EnableRandR12" is not used
(II) fglrx(0): Disabling in-server RandR and enabling in-driver RandR 1.2.
(--) RandR disabled
(WW) fglrx(1): Option "EnableRandR12" is not used
(II) fglrx(1): Disabling in-server RandR and enabling in-driver RandR 1.2.
(--) RandR disabled
(II) Initializing built-in extension RANDR
(II) fglrx(0): Restoring Recent Mode via PCS is not supported in RANDR 1.2 capable environments
(II) fglrx(1): Restoring Recent Mode via PCS is not supported in RANDR 1.2 capable environments

For what it's worth, here's the output of xrandr as well. Note that I have two screens, one 1440x900 and the other 1280x1024:

$ xrandr

I've read that it's possible to recompile X without RandR, but I'd rather not take such drastic measures until I've exhausted all other possibilities. What else do I need to do to disable it?

I think I now understand exactly what is going wrong. The advice in the aforementioned thread said to do two things in order to disable RandR - the first involved xorg.conf, and the second involved fglrx. One of these must be failing:

(WW) fglrx(0): Option "EnableRandR12" is not used
(II) fglrx(0): Disabling in-server RandR and enabling in-driver RandR 1.2.

Because these lines appear twice in my Xorg.0.log output, I am led to believe that the culprit is my xorg.conf, which specifies EnableRandR12 twice:

Section "ServerLayout"
	Identifier     "aticonfig Layout"
	Screen      0  "aticonfig-Screen[0]-0" 0 0
	Screen         "aticonfig-Screen[0]-1" LeftOf "aticonfig-Screen[0]-0"
EndSection

Section "Module"
EndSection

Section "Monitor"
	Identifier   "aticonfig-Monitor[0]-0"
	Option	    "VendorName" "ATI Proprietary Driver"
	Option	    "ModelName" "Generic Autodetecting Monitor"
	Option	    "DPMS" "true"
EndSection

Section "Monitor"
	Identifier   "aticonfig-Monitor[0]-1"
	Option	    "VendorName" "ATI Proprietary Driver"
	Option	    "ModelName" "Generic Autodetecting Monitor"
	Option	    "DPMS" "true"
EndSection

Section "Device"
	Identifier  "aticonfig-Device[0]-0"
	Driver      "fglrx"
	BusID       "PCI:1:0:0"
	Option      "EnableRandR12" "false"
EndSection

Section "Device"
	Identifier  "aticonfig-Device[0]-1"
	Driver      "fglrx"
	BusID       "PCI:1:0:0"
	Screen      1
	Option      "EnableRandR12" "false"
EndSection

Section "Screen"
	Identifier "aticonfig-Screen[0]-0"
	Device     "aticonfig-Device[0]-0"
	Monitor    "aticonfig-Monitor[0]-0"
	DefaultDepth     24
	SubSection "Display"
		Viewport   0 0
		Depth     24
		Modes    "1440x900" "1280x1024"
	EndSubSection
EndSection

Section "Screen"
	Identifier "aticonfig-Screen[0]-1"
	Device     "aticonfig-Device[0]-1"
	Monitor    "aticonfig-Monitor[0]-1"
	DefaultDepth     24
	SubSection "Display"
		Viewport   0 0
		Depth     24
	EndSubSection
EndSection

I'll try commenting out one of the lines to confirm this. Yep, xorg.conf doesn't recognize EnableRandR12 as a real option. Any ideas?

The guys over at phoronix are trying to sort this out as well.

This was in the thread I mentioned in my first post.

Good to hear I'm not the only one having issues with it.

I have been experiencing the same issue, is there any update or new information out there that might solve this? I stopped X and changed the pcs-str to no avail.

Thanks,
John
