Attempting to view the X Display Configuration panel in nvidia-settings from 195 for instance under the 173 or 96 series drivers gives an error like so: Unable to load X Server Display Configuration page: Failed to query NoScanout for screen 0. This is due to the property not existing on the older drivers. Perhaps it would be a good idea to package seperate nvidia-settings-VERSION packages to get around it? Upstream blob drivers package their own nvidia-settings tailored to that driver release and they work properly. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Run nvidia-settings 2. Click on X Server Display Configuration Actual Results: Unable to load X Server Display Configuration page: Failed to query NoScanout for screen 0. Expected Results: Show the configuration screen. I extracted the binary from the Ubuntu deb and ran it. This worked. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
