Actually, it seems this bug is already fixed in the rawhide version. I really do think there should be an update for this for the current release (Core 2). If users get stuck without X and this doesn't work they're kind of lost. This is a severe bug IMHO. I was just bitten by on a production system. :( Here's a possible workaround though: mkdir /root/old-x-files mv /etc/X11/xorg.conf* /etc/X11/XF86Config* /root/old-x-files system-config-display rather than system-config-display --reconfig |
From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; SunOS sun4u; en-US; rv:1.6) Gecko/20040116 Description of problem: When I run the command system-config-display --reconfig --noui I get the error Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/share/system-config-display/xconf.py", line 412, in ? hardware_state.merge_into(xconfig) NameError: name 'hardware_state' is not defined The problem seems to be the lines 336-7 if reconfig and loop_count == 0: continue in /usr/share/system-config-display/xconf.py which discards the first card in the card list. Since the system in question only finds one card the configuration fails. If I comment out these lines, the command works as expected. Package versions are system-config-display-1.0.14-1 and rhpl-0.143-1
