I have this problem on my system as well. I use the radeonhd driver. It goes away if I set /apps/gnome-settings-daemon/plugins/xrandr/active and /apps/gnome_settings_daemon/plugins/xrandr/active both to false (perhaps one of the might have been enough).
Based on Bryce's instructions on IRC, I verified that the driver seems to have xrandr 1.2 support: xrandr -q reports sensible stuff xrandr --output VGA_1 --mode 1024x768 sets the mode correctly xrandr --output VGA_1 --auto correctly resets the mode back to what it should be -- gnome-settings-daemon crashed with SIGSEGV https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/197153 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-desktop in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
