This might be a gnome problem, but….

 

I’ve noticed that, on occasion (frequently), when I try to look at or modify my display configuration, the Applications->System Settings->Display doesn’t come up.  It asks for the root password, which I give it, and then nothing.

 

I ran system-config-display form the command line, but it dies thus:

 

[root@mhullrichter mhr]# system-config-display

* no cardMem, assuming 8192

* no cardMem, assuming 8192

Trying with card: VESA driver (generic)

* no cardMem, assuming 8192

Traceback (most recent call last):

  File "/usr/share/system-config-display/xconf.py", line 380, in ?

    dialog = xConfigDialog.XConfigDialog(hardware_state, xconfig, rhpl.videocard.VideoCardInfo())

  File "/usr/share/system-config-display/xConfigDialog.py", line 566, in __init__

    self.xml.get_widget("secondMonitorLabel").set_text(monitor_list[1].modelname)

TypeError: GtkLabel.set_text() argument 1 must be string, not None

 

I seem to be missing an argument from the call, but I’m not sure what goes there, and even so, when I run it from the menu, shouldn’t it have the right data and run?

 

Thanks.
