Description Fabian Nowak editbugs 2007-12-26 17:14:42 CET
User-Agent:       Opera/9.20 (X11; Linux i686; U; de)
Build Identifier: 

changing between nv and nvidia driver to tackle some problems with DPMS and the frequencies and the automatically preselected default frequencies will lead to the display settings being unusable and the session not start after a restart of X. 

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Use nv driver
2. Change from default to 1280x1024@75
3. Do some work, logout
4. Use nvidia driver
5. Log in
6. Session crashes, as there is no such mode
(might also have happened with nv and nvidia swapped)


Expected Results:  
1. Change to custom resolution in display settings
2. Log out, change to other driver, restart X
3. Log in, perhaps get message that deafault resolution was chosen, perhaps get the display dialog, at least not have the session crash

Removing some lines in display.xml did the job, could log in afterwards. I guess, for most people on most computers this won't happen, unless their drivers do also only offer limited DPMS capabilities and crap information.
