Description of problem: Trying to change display settings from 'System Settings --> Display' results in login screen Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Fedora 12 (today's) KDE X86-64 How reproducible: Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3. Actual results: Expected results: Additional info: System-config-display is also installed and a xorg.conf file with indications for preferred resolution in section monitor is in place. (Auto detection of monitor resolutions is a problem because of KVM switch) driver: nouveau It may be a conflict with s-c-d
It's likely a display driver bug, where the xrandr probe crashes the X server. What video hardware and driver are you using?

The system was updated from rawhide to F12 (stable) (but that should not matter most probably).
Looks like nouveau is the likely suspect then, re-assigning.

Please don't compress attachments that are plain text and reasonably short, it makes them far less convenient to work with. Can you please reproduce the issue and then attach /var/log/Xorg.0.log.old , which should be from the crashed session and hence contain the crash information? Thanks. Also, please do not set the priority field when reporting bugs.

One thing I notice, why are you using ShadowFB? Can you try removing that option and seeing how things work without it?
