I got this same crash immediately after upgrading to Hardy.

Similar crash on IBM X40 after upgrading to Hardy - also the Fn-F7 key for switching to the external monitor no longer seems to have any effect.

This crash with the problem of a 1440x900@60 hz on x1300 xt from ATI with envyng. The monitor is a Viewsonic VA1703wb. The screen shows the resolution with a left bar on the left of the screen. I'd tried a lot but no effect.

On Hardy trying to change resolution from 800x600 to ViewSonic AV1903wb's 1440x900. Adapter is a motherboard integrated nv 6 series. The nv driver doesn't work.

After having used the laptop with a projector, next boot gave me a much larger screen than the LCD and any try to start the resolution switcher cases a crash. System, Settings, Screen resolution worked so now it is back to normal.

Similar crash whenever I tried to configure the display on IBM thinkpad x60.

Thank you for reporting this bug and for your efforts to make Ubuntu better. As Xorg has improved this past year, an unfortunate side effect of these improvements is that it has rendered several design assumptions in displayconfig-gtk obsolete. So, starting with Hardy we are no longer putting displayconfig-gtk forth as a primary configuration tool, and are putting our development focus into the Screen Resolution applet. As a result, we do not plan to fix this bug and thus are closing it.
