Package: gnome-control-center Version: 1:2.12.3-2 Severity: normal Hello,
I have 3 display resolutions set in my X configuration. I can switch between these using keypad +/-, but if I do that, the virtual desktop size does not change, i.e. if I choose a low-res mode, the viewport scrolls. I can successfully switch between my modes using the xrandr command from xbase-clients 6.9.0.dfsg.1-6 (using "xrandr -s 0" to "xrandr -s 2") - in this case, the screen resolution changes *and* the Gnome desktop adjusts accordingly. However, if I run "gnome-display-properties", choosing a new mode does not have any effect. The moment I click on "Apply" to switch to another resolution, the following is output on the terminal I started it from, and gnome-display-properties exits. $ gnome-display-properties The program 'gnome-display-properties' received an X Window System error. This probably reflects a bug in the program. The error was 'BadValue (integer parameter out of range for operation)'. (Details: serial 3061 error_code 2 request_code 156 minor_code 2) (Note to programmers: normally, X errors are reported asynchronously; that is, you will receive the error a while after causing it. To debug your program, run it with the --sync command line option to change this behavior. You can then get a meaningful backtrace from your debugger if you break on the gdk_x_error() function.) Maybe the X API for xrandr has changed??
