Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: xserver-xgl
Hardy, xserver-xgl, nvidia-glx-new (currently 169.12)
Try to change screen resolution, either via nvidia-settings or
gnome-display-properties, and get back an error. nvidia-settings says it's not
the nvidia driver. gnome-display-properties says the server doesn't support
XRandR.
You can change the screen resolution by saying
DISPLAY=:0 nvidia-settings
or of course gnome-display-properties. However, the window manager and gnome
theming are on display :1, so the windows are undecorated and unthemed, and
apps seem not to notice that the resolution has changed (for example
avant-window-navigator becomes offscreen if I reduce resolution.)
** Affects: xserver-xgl (Ubuntu)
Importance: Undecided
Status: New
