DDC doesn't always work (depends on a variety of bios, video bios and monitor), so redhat-config-xfree86 should also handle the case where it can't be used. Jeremy, I agree that redhat-config-xfree86 needs to handle the case when the ddcprobe doesn't work, but in this case it appears the bug is in xhwstate.py in rhpl since it's trying to split an empty string. Shouldn't it return some kind of error in this case instead of tracebacking? jeremy: ping? As root, try this: kudzu --probe --bus=DDC What is the output of that? Closing due to lack of information. Please reopen if you can provide more data. |
Description of problem: I'm not really sure what the command ddcprobe is supposed to return, but it just fails in my case. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): rhpl-0.117-1 How reproducible: always Steps to Reproduce: 1. start the program Actual results: [root@Datorn rpm]# ddcprobe Videocard DDC probe results Description: NVidia Corporation NV11 (GeForce2) Board Memory (MB): 32 Monitor DDC probe results Monitor DDC Probe failed. Expected results: Not quite sure ;-) Additional info: I'm using nvidias latest drivers for my GForce2 card. This makes my redhat-config-xfree86 fail to start too. I get the following from it: [root@Datorn rpm]# redhat-config-xfree86 * ddcprobe returned bogus values: ID: None Name: None HorizSync: None VertSync: None Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/share/redhat-config-xfree86/xconf.py", line 350, in ? hardware_state = XF86HardwareState(xconfig) File "/usr/lib/python2.2/site-packages/rhpl/xhwstate.py", line 143, in __init__ self.init_from_xconfig(xconfig) File "/usr/lib/python2.2/site-packages/rhpl/xhwstate.py", line 272, in init_from_xconfig self.all_resolutions.sort (compare_resolution) File "/usr/lib/python2.2/site-packages/rhpl/xhwstate.py", line 50, in compare_resolution a1 = resolution_area(res1) File "/usr/lib/python2.2/site-packages/rhpl/xhwstate.py", line 46, in resolution_area (w, h) = resolution_from_string(res) File "/usr/lib/python2.2/site-packages/rhpl/xhwstate.py", line 42, in resolution_from_string (w, h) = string.split (res, "x") ValueError: unpack list of wrong size
