Dear Gene,
it's not quite clear to me what the/your actual problem is…

Only when booted to single status. But It let me set
it right now
without asking for the old pw. But then xrandr got in the way,
couldn't read a valid gamma setting. xrandr is not your problem
though. Now I suppose I'll have to use it for everything. And thats
a right pita too as its quite a few more characters. But now I can't
run synaptic from the tde menu's, as root or gene. And gksudo, my
only way to run synaptic, brought up a whole new default jessie
config. Jessie ??? Supposed to be stretch, call me confused.
…but one thing comes to mind: in case you want to run an X-application
(synaptic) as root, root needs to be allowed to access the user's
X-session (I don't know how this is implemented by synaptic, there are
probably different ways to achieve that by different apps). Maybe it's
worth a try to allow root to your user's X-session with:
As user enter this command:
$ xhost +si:localuser:root
From man xhost:
"the server interpreted address "si:localuser:username" can be used to
specify a single local user."
HTH and kind regards,
Stefan
