2009-03-06 22:43:13 wvengen disper: statusexplanation Thanks for your bug report. You've probably run into a serious bug in the nVidia backend. Could you please try the following at a command prompt and report what the output is exactly? cd /usr/share/disper/src python -c 'from nvidia import *; NVidiaControl()'

There may be a problem with your python ctypes installation. It looks like a bug #285411; could you please verify that it is the case by running the following: grep ^__version__ /usr/share/pyshared/ctypes/__init__.py strings /usr/lib/python*/lib-dynload/_ctypes.so | grep 1\.\0\. if these numbers are different it is the culprit.

As a workaround I'll create an XRandR fallback method that calls the xrandr binary instead of using ctypes bindings.
