Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: gnome-power-manager
This is gnome-power-manager 2.24.2-2ubuntu8 (jaunty).
[crybaby ~]gnome-power-manager --no-daemon --sync
The program 'gnome-power-manager' received an X Window System error.
This probably reflects a bug in the program.
The error was 'BadRequest (invalid request code or no such operation)'.
(Details: serial 187 error_code 1 request_code 154 minor_code 25)
(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.)
A little playing with gdb shows that it's caused by a call to
XRRGetScreenResourcesCurrent in gpm_brightness_xrandr_update_cache (src
/gpm-brightness-xrandr.c), added by debian/patches/79-randr13-speed-
fix.patch as part of #307306.
But the fix is wrong, as mentioned in further discussion on that bug:
the call is guarded by #ifdef but that only helps if the code is
compiled against an old client library (which can anyway be prevented by
appropriate Build-Depends). The problem is that my X server doesn't
provide Xrandr 1.3, because I'm holding it back (because of the Intel
graphics driver bug warned of in the Jaunty release notes).
I've attached a fixed version of the patch which (a) stores the server's
Xrandr version number, and (b) checks it before calling the offending
function, falling back to XRRGetScreenResources.
