I worked a bit on the dialog Friday, but unfortunately I found that the way the gui and daemon work, the settings are applied and *then* tested, rather than vice versa as the old Screen Resolution tool did, so it's not 100% obvious how to implement a revert capability. I've asked upstream for direction, and am awaiting feedback.
It seems there is a new bug report entered about the need for a revert dialog (197673), so I'm going to start tracking that issue there instead of on this bug report, and mark that task of this bug as invalid. All other subsequent issues (including the regressions after latest gnome upgrades) have been reported to new bug reports, so since the original issue was addressed this can be closed. I will be tracking other issues on the following bug reports: 197673: Automatic revert dialog needed 197740: 1280x1024 used instead of LVDS/DVI preferred resolutions 199718: After upgrade, Xrandr GUI works only after logging out / back in 198951: gnome-display-properties crashes for i855, fglrx, radeonhd, etc. (request_code 151 minor_code 6) - reversion due to XRANDR becoming defined in recent gsd upload ** Changed in: gnome-control-center (Ubuntu) Status: Confirmed => Invalid -- gnome-settings-daemon crashed with SIGSEGV https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/197153 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
