This tool doesn't aim to be a full randr frontend. It's a utility for grandma, not for geeks. If you need the full power of RandR, get xrandr (console) or grandr (GUI) and read some tutorials. . LXRandR only gives you some easy and quick options which are intuitive. It's very suitable for laptop users who frequently uses projectors or external monitor and just want to get their work done without reading a lot of "geek-centered" manuals or command line tutorials.
