Subject: nvidia-settings: Unable to load X Server Display Configuration page:
Failed to query NoScanout for screen 0
Package: nvidia-settings
Version: 195.36.24-1
Severity: normal

Same  bug as #593874. However, if using an older nvidia card which requires the
legacy drivers the bug can not be resolved by simply using the newest drivers.

Cannot use the nvidia-settings  X Server Display Configuration becuase of the
following error: Unable to load X Server Display Configuration page: Failed to
query NoScanout for screen 0.


Video card: GeForce Go 6200
