Options --clone and --extend were not documented in the man page.
Trying some searches on various search engines returns some references
to those options: http://keithp.com/blogs/randr_1.2_update/index.html

BTW, 3rd utilities relying on a broken xrandr are broken too. As a user,
getting an error message instead of nothing happening is definitely a
plus.

My 2 cents.

Thanks for the review.
