RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Under completely maimed I mean no 'Keep this.' dialog appears and none of the changes takes effect, except on the imaginary monitors displayed.

Hmm, after some pondering I am more likely to believe in the rightfullness of accusing xorg-x11-drv-noveau package.
It is very sad, we have no error messages, the user (and I in particular) is left here in doubts and only guesswork remains.

Cheers

Comment 3 Ben Skeggs 2013-09-27 20:51:28 UTC 
I have rather large doubts that nouveau is involved here, *especially* since you don't get a "Keep this" dialog box.  That'd suggest to me the application isn't doing anything.
Comment 4 Endre "Hrebicek" Balint-Nagy 2013-09-29 14:28:20 UTC 
Ben,
Do you mean /usr/bin/gnome-display-properties, thus the control-center package?
(This is my third candidate to blame from start.)
While the VGA and DVB connectors were in use, no effect;after switching to HDMI connector it works. Somewhat strange. (BTW my personal issue is solved with changing output connector and using a HDMI->DVB cable).
Cheers
 Endre
Comment 5 Endre "Hrebicek" Balint-Nagy 2013-09-29 14:36:43 UTC 
or I have to add changing from VGA output to HDMI. Sorry, I omitted this detail!
Comment 6 RHEL Program Management 2013-10-13 23:05:51 UTC 
This request was evaluated by Red Hat Product Management for
inclusion in the current release of Red Hat Enterprise Linux.
Because the affected component is not scheduled to be updated
in the current release, Red Hat is unable to address this
request at this time.

Red Hat invites you to ask your support representative to
propose this request, if appropriate, in the next release of
Red Hat Enterprise Linux.
Comment 7 Endre "Hrebicek" Balint-Nagy 2013-11-19 01:24:30 UTC 
The issue lies around the gnome-settings-daemon.
At graphical login no gnome-settings-daemon is running and the display preferences setting is ignored (for me the left and right monitors are swapped). After running gnome-keyboard-properties, the monitors position is restored and the keyboard settings take effect (Before the en layout is selected alone, after the en, hu and ru are available). The gnome-settings-daemon is running thereafter.
The whole issue may be caused by a garbled startup-items setting.

Endre/Ondra.
