drivers by nvidia that support XRandr1.2. Please reopen in case it still
does not work with Quantal

Bug description:
[Problem]
The -nvidia video driver does not support the XRANDR protocol version 1.2+
that most other video drivers support. This can lead to crashes when
applications assume the support is there and make XRANDR calls to do things
like change or restore the resolution, screen layout, rotation, etc.
[Workaround]
Applications which trigger this bug should be modified to check for XRANDR
driver support before making these calls.
[Original Report]
I downloaded the free version of Command & Conquer: Tiberian Sun (2.03) +
Firestorm. Both Firestorm and the Tiberian Sun exhibit this behaviour. After
getting to the game main menu, I click Skirmish and start a Skirmish game. If
I
then abort the game and exit from the main menu, my X crashes and I am forced
to re-login to my system. This is on Ubuntu x86_64.
See attached Xorg.0.log.old
