Missing or broken libXrandr.so.2 library

Description

XRandR lets games adjust the display resolution as needed. It is strongly recommended to install it if you plan to use games.

Resolution

On CrossOver 17 and greater, the simplest solution to fix this issue is to run:

/path/to/cxoffice/bin/cxfix missinglibxrandr missinglibxrandr.amd64

Or add --show-all to see how CrossOver would fix it on your platform and others.

Alternatively you may try one of the commands below.

  • For 32-bit Windows applications
    32-bit Arch Linux : pacman -Syu libxrandr
    64-bit Arch Linux : pacman -Syu lib32-libxrandr
    Debian : apt-get install libxrandr2:i386
    32-bit Fedora : yum install libXrandr
    64-bit Fedora : yum install libXrandr.i686 libXrandr.x86_64
    32-bit openSUSE >= 11.2 : zypper install xorg-x11-libs
    64-bit openSUSE >= 11.2 : zypper install xorg-x11-libs-32bit
    32-bit openSUSE >= 12.1 : zypper install libXrandr2
    64-bit openSUSE >= 12.1 : zypper install libXrandr2-32bit
  • For 64-bit Windows applications
    Arch Linux : pacman -Syu libxrandr
    Debian : apt-get install libxrandr2:amd64
    Fedora : yum install libXrandr.x86_64
    openSUSE >= 11.2 : zypper install xorg-x11-libs
    openSUSE >= 12.1 : zypper install libXrandr2

Notes:

  • cxfix --show-all may have more up-to-date fixes.
  • The commands usually also apply to newer versions of the distributions above as well as derived distributions. So for instance a fix for Debian 7 may still be valid for the latest Debian Testing and is typically also applicable to Ubuntu, Linux Mint, Deepin and Pop! OS. Similarly a fix for Fedora likely also works on Red Hat Enterprise Linux, CentOS, etc.
