Bug 443352

If you run system-config-display from gnome-terminal, you should see a traceback
when you click the "ok" button.  What does that traceback print?

Here is the trackback info.  Lines starting with "Click OK ..." are my comments.
Click OK first time:
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/share/system-config-display/xConfigDialog.py", line 201, in ok
    if card.getDescription() ==
self.secondVideocardOptionMenu.get_menu().get_active().get_data("NAME"):
AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'get_data'


Click OK second time:
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/share/system-config-display/xConfigDialog.py", line 201, in ok
    if card.getDescription() ==
self.secondVideocardOptionMenu.get_menu().get_active().get_data("NAME"):
AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'get_data'

Click OK 4 more times:
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/share/system-config-display/xConfigDialog.py", line 156, in ok
    lower_vrefresh, upper_vrefresh = self.second_monitor_vrefresh
ValueError: too many values to unpack
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/share/system-config-display/xConfigDialog.py", line 156, in ok

  File "/usr/share/system-config-display/xConfigDialog.py", line 156, in ok
    lower_vrefresh, upper_vrefresh = self.second_monitor_vrefresh

Click Cancel and program quits

Changing version to '9' as part of upcoming Fedora 9 GA.

I have the same problem on my Thinkpad T43 (intel video) with attached LCD.

# system-config-display
Traceback (most recent call last):

Same problem here (Radeon X800 GTO):

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/share/system-config-display/xConfigDialog.py", line 152, in ok
    second_monitor = self.xconfig.monitor[1]
IndexError: index out-of-bounds

Depending on how you interact with s-c-d, the error could be this instead:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/share/system-config-display/xConfigDialog.py", line 201, in ok
    if card.getDescription() ==
self.secondVideocardOptionMenu.get_menu().get_active().get_data("NAME"):
AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'get_data'

Same error with the radeonhd driver. A workaround is to use xrandr directly to configure dual head - then it works for me at least. I will attach xorg.conf and xrand -q --verbose output as well.

Same problem here with an NVidia Geforce 9300M G on Fedora 10.
This problem seems to be the same as bug #238171.

I'm having a similar issue.

This message is a reminder that Fedora 9 is nearing its end of life.
Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining
and issuing updates for Fedora 9.  It is Fedora's policy to close all
bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained.  At that time
this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 
'version' of '9'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' 
to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 9's end of life.

Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that 
we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 9 is end of life.  If you 
would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it 
against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this 
bug to the applicable version.  If you are unable to change the version, 
please add a comment here and someone will do it for you.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's 
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events.  Often a 
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes 
bugs or makes them obsolete.

The process we are following is described here: 
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping

Fedora 9 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2009-07-10. Fedora 9 is 
no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further 
security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug.

If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of 
Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version.

Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
