RandR extension missing error

I have been trying to get randr working on my machine for some time without 
success.  I have xorg 7.2, xorg-server 1.3 (I have also tried 1.2) libXrandr 
1.2 (I have also tried 1.1) and xrandr 1.2.  I have an nvidia graphics card 
and I am running version 1.0.9755 of the propritory driver.  I have 

Option "RandRRotation" "true" 

in the Device sections of xorg.conf.

When I run xrandr I get the following:

Xlib:  extension "RANDR" missing on display ":0.0".
RandR extension missing

Looking in the Xorg.0.log I do not find any indication that there was any 
issues with randr.  Anyone have any ideas about what may be happening and how 
to fix this?
