libxrandr
brew install libxrandr
v1.5.5
MIT
C shared library for X11 display resizing, rotation, and reflection control.
Why you might care
Required by X11 applications and window managers that need to query or adjust screen resolution, rotation, and multi-monitor layouts. This is a foundational X.Org library; most Linux desktop environments and X-based tools depend on it indirectly. Rarely installed directly unless you're building X11 software from source.
