Bug#378186: gnome-control-center: gnome-display-properties setting screen resolution crashes gnome-session

[alex bodnaru]

hi marco,

thanks for your prompt answer.

since this functionality works for you, and xrandr fails for me, it
seems we have different xserver drivers, and mine is broken.

please forward the bug, or tell me to which package to rewrite it?

thanks,

alex
