I believe this issue is due to bugs in xrandr rather than an issue in gnome-settings-daemon itself. I've backported several bug fixes from upstream that look relevant to making xrandr work properly - these are from one of the radeonhd developers, so will be especially relevant for radeonhd users (and I suspect also relevant for other users).
Please install the three X server debs from this url which have been patched with the fixes, re-test, and let me know if it improves things: http://people.ubuntu.com/~bryce/Testing/XrandrGui/ -- gnome-display-properties crashed with SIGSEGV in screen_info_new() - i855, fglrx, radeonhd https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/198951 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
