Description Magnus Boman 2008-04-18 01:35:08 UTC 
I have an old CRT monitor that I connected and I set the resolution to high. After I clicked apply, the CRT tells me that the resolution is out of range. Problem is that "Monitor Resolution Settings" moved over to that monitor after apply so I can't see it anymore.
We need to have a timed confirm dialog box after clicking apply, wheres if I don't acknowledge the new setup within 10 seconds, it should revert.

I think Federico is dealing with multi-screen issues
Comment 2 Federico Mena Quintero 2008-11-29 19:37:12 UTC 
Ubuntu has a patch for the timeout confirmation dialog (uncontributed to upstream, wheee!); we need to merge it in.
Comment 3 Federico Mena Quintero 2009-01-26 19:07:35 UTC 
I'm working on this.

BTW, the capplet's dialog should no longer switch monitors when you click "Apply" --- it should remain in the monitor where it was.  If you have trouble with this, please ping me :)

See bug #467558 for the equivalent bug in SLE and for a pointer to the upstream bug and patches.

Anja, I've made a bunch of fixes for RANDR-related issues in SLE-11.  These bugs also appear in openSUSE 11.1, and I would like to release those fixes for 11.1 as updates.

These are the bugs in question: #381132, #467558, #461755, #434729, #472226, #381135, #450141, #381030, #433939.  Most of those touch the gnome-desktop, gnome-settings-daemon, and gnome-control-center packages.

Also, I noticed that the fix for #456131 was only submitted to Factory, not for 11.1.  Since it is in gnome-settings-daemon as well, I'd like to submit it for 11.1 at the same time.

Could I please get a swampid for all those bugs? :)  Thanks!

Oops, this was already submitted a while ago.
