xrandr broken: failed to get size of the gamma for the output default

[alanbork]

after rpi-update 039088f7d929b0d1cc49e8d2012df0652f908518

startx works fine, but if I try to run xrandr: xrandr: Failed to get size of the gamma for the output default and it just reports one resolution: 576x416

as far as I know my configuration is stock other than running rpi-update. And yes, it worked fine minutes before I ran rpi-update.

realized I left out some useful details:

Can you identify the exact update which caused this. See: https://github.com/Hexxeh/rpi-firmware/commits/master

If you click on each commit the end of the url contains a git hash. Run sudo rpi-update <hash> to revert back to that version. Report the first version with this error.

That would be a lot easier if there was a way to tell what the previous commit number (git hash) I was running was. Then I could do a binary search, rather than a serial search. I was at least a month behind, maybe two before updating.

This is going to be tricky to diagnose because it seems to come and go with reboots. Either it always works fine or it always fails.
