I am not the original poster but I was just trying this method to
configure my screen. In my case 1280x1024. When I ran:
xrandr --fb 1289x1024
I got the error message:
xrandr: Failed to get the size of gamma for output default.
What does that mean?
Probably, it is because you are using a xorg.conf file.
Remove it and eventually do the same by using
xorg.conf.d/ files
