mattismyname's issue was resolved by one of the earlier fixes, so everyone else commenting on this bug is likely having an unrelated issue.
For i855 and radeonhd users, I would suspect the fix to 198951 solves that issue. For the failures with -nvidia and -fglrx, looking at the bug report pointed to in comment#7, the issue is that drivers lacked xrandr 1.2 support. The checks for this are in a gtk patch provided by upstream, that I passed along to seb128 and am attaching here for reference. I doublechecked the source and patches in gtk+2.0-2.12.9, and it appears it is missing these checks, which would explain why it is not handling these two drivers properly. I've heard from a user of the most recent fglrx binary that they do not experience the crashes and that the screen resolution tool works properly; Zaki did not indicate what version of -fglrx he has installed, but if it's older than the most recent, upgrading it may help, but otherwise I think the attached gtk patch is necessary. ** Attachment added: "gtk.patch" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/12710213/gtk.patch -- error starting GNOME Settings Daemon https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/199960 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-settings-daemon in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
