I had this problem also (Hardy Heron kubuntu stable on AMD64). I was just getting ready to give up, when I noticed the following error in the displayconfig error trace:
raise ParseException,"Unknown line type '%s' on line %i" % (first,line) xorgconfig.ParseException: Unknown line type 'allowmouseopenfail#' on line 55 error: *** runFunction failure ; I found that I had a line in xorg.conf that read: AllowMouseOpenFail man xorg.conf says: " ... Boolean options may optionally have a value specified. When no value is specified, the option’s value is TRUE." Looks like displayconfig does not obey this convention. Once I explicitly specified a value for the boolean like so: AllowMouseOpenFail "true" displayconfig works fine. Hope this helps in fixing the error / resolving the problem for others. -- The module Monitor & Display could not be loaded. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/173768 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
