Hi Ichiroh, thanks a lot for the pointers. Up to now, I tried to only depend on "official" IBM packages (i.e. original AIX packages or packages from the "AIX Toolbox for Linux Applications" [1]) for both, the build and at runtime. I'm not sure how "reliable" the packages from perzl.org are, but in general I want to avoid unverified dependencies. That said, I don't know Xrandr makes any sense on AIX at all. As far as I can see, it hasn't worked until now anyway. Or can anyone report any successful usage of Xrandr on AIX with these packages?

Hello Volker.
I'm not sure, you want to know following information.
User can download libXrandr for AIX via Perzl.org AIX Open Source Packages site. [1][2]
I have not used this library, so I don't know the detail.
I checked the contents of libXrandr-devel-1.5.1-1.aix5.1.ppc.rpm [3]
$ rpm -qpl libXrandr-devel-1.5.1-1.aix5.1.ppc.rpm /opt/freeware/include/X11/extensions/Xrandr.h /opt/freeware/lib/libXrandr.la /opt/freeware/lib/pkgconfig/xrandr.pc /opt/freeware/man/man3/XRRConfigCurrentConfiguration.3 /opt/freeware/man/man3/XRRConfigCurrentRate.3 /opt/freeware/man/man3/XRRConfigRates.3 /opt/freeware/man/man3/XRRConfigRotations.3 /opt/freeware/man/man3/XRRConfigSizes.3 /opt/freeware/man/man3/XRRConfigTimes.3 /opt/freeware/man/man3/XRRFreeScreenConfigInfo.3 /opt/freeware/man/man3/XRRGetScreenInfo.3 /opt/freeware/man/man3/XRRQueryExtension.3 /opt/freeware/man/man3/XRRQueryVersion.3 /opt/freeware/man/man3/XRRRootToScreen.3 /opt/freeware/man/man3/XRRSelectInput.3 /opt/freeware/man/man3/XRRSetScreenConfig.3 /opt/freeware/man/man3/XRRSetScreenConfigAndRate.3 /opt/freeware/man/man3/Xrandr.3 /usr/lib/libXrandr.la $

Hi AIX experts,
a recent change ("8210863: Remove Xrandr include files from JDK sources" [1]) has removed the Xrander header files which were previously checked in in the OpenJDK sources, from there. This means that the build now requires the platform version of these header files:
X11/extensions/Xrandr.h X11/extensions/randr.h
To the best of my knowledge, AIX does not support the Xrandr extension and I couldn't find the corresponding header files any where (even not in the "AIX Toolbox for Linux Applications" [2]).
I've therefor prepared a change which fixes these issues on AIX (see: http://mail.openjdk.java.net/pipermail/2d-dev/2018-November/009636.html).
However, before pushing this fix, I'd like to get a confirmation if Xrandr is indeed not supported and not available on AIX. If it is, please point me to a place where I can get a package with the corresponding header files.
Thank you and best regards, Volker
