I ran into this also, while trying to use kmod-nvidia, to find a solution to bug 476602. Now I have problems fixing problems! 480534 looks more popular :) *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 480534 *** After a full yum update on Fedora 10, I am having the very same problem reported by this bug. What makes this bug so annoying is that I am running FC10 under virtualbox. The default display size of the screen is tiny!!! I am unable to expandit, enlarge it or re-config it. F11 is about to be released, and there is still no fix for this bug in F10!!! Well, I guess Fedora is permanently experimental :) |
Description of problem: system-config-display crash when starting from existing xorg.conf Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: systematic Steps to Reproduce: 1. have an xorg.conf that looks like: Section "Device" Identifier "Videocard0" Driver "vesa" EndSection 2. start system-config-display Actual results: $ system-config-display Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/share/system-config-display/xconf.py", line 312, in <module> hardware_state = XF86HardwareState(xconfig) File "/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/rhpxl/xhwstate.py", line 174, in __init__ self.init_from_xconfig(xconfig) File "/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/rhpxl/xhwstate.py", line 260, in init_from_xconfig if screen.device: AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'device' $ Expected results: a window should start Additional info: adding the option --reconfig bypasses the problem
