Xrandr on osx not recognising screens

$

in relation to this question, I'm using the xrandr command in osx to perform operations on my external monitors. Unfortunately it does not appear to be recognising external montitors at all:

Cobrakai$xrandr  --verbose --screen 1Invalid screen number 1 (display has 1)

Whereas it works fine for screen 0 (my native screen)

Cobrakai$xrandr  --screen 0xrandr: Failed to get size of gamma for output defaultScreen 0: minimum 640 x 480, current 2304 x 1824, maximum 2304 x 1846default connected 2304x1824+0+0 0mm x 0mm   1280x800       60.0      2.0     1152x720       60.0     1024x768       60.0     1024x640       60.0     800x600        60.0     800x500        60.0     640x480        60.0     720x480        60.0     1280x778        1.0     1280x1824       1.0     1280x1846       2.0     2304x1824       1.0*    2304x1846       2.0  Cobrakai$

Even when other applications can tell that there are many screens (per screenshot) - how do I get xrandr to recognise the additional screens?
