   There is a PR open for this support in #224 pending your approval. The following code has been tested
   and works on my machine 😂 with the changes applied from #224.

   from Xlib import display
   
   d = display.Display()
   
   print('Current monitors:', d.screen().root.xrandr_get_monitors())
   
   # Add a virtual monitor
   name = d.intern_atom('test')
   d.screen().root.xrandr_set_monitor(dict(
       name=name,
       primary=0,
       automatic=0,
       crtcs=[],
       x=0,
       y=0,
       width_in_pixels=100,
       height_in_pixels=100,
       width_in_millimeters=1,
       height_in_millimeters=1
   ))
   
   print('Updated monitors:', d.screen().root.xrandr_get_monitors())
   
   # Delete monitor
   d.screen().root.xrandr_delete_monitor(name)
   print('Updated monitors after delete:', d.screen().root.xrandr_get_monitors())

   @allfro thanks for the PR. I think this example code could be added to examples/xrandr.py somewhere after r = self.d.xrandr_query_version().
