You are right, there is not a single line of RandR code in the dummy
driver so whatever is failing must be in core.
Interestingly this already allows the resolution to be changed (as
mentioned previously), it just does not allow adding new ones.

So I would like to add better RandR support to dummy which should be
relatively straightforward, but I cannot find any reference
implementation or documentation on which methods need to be
implemented and how.. I found that drivers include "xorg/xf86RandR12.h"
Calling xf86RandR12Init / PreInit only got me segfaults so far..
Are there any useful pointers to help me get started?

Thanks
Antoine
