Comment 22 for bug 197673

Florent, cool, I'll take a look at your patch tomorrow.

Meanwhile, I've continued work on my end, and have a new update available for testing:

I don't think I have all the dependencies specified correctly, but just install all of the above and reboot. In theory the revert dialog should work properly with this. I've only tested on my dev box, and it mostly worked - I suspect the failures are due to peculiarities of my development environment, but don't know for sure (notably, as long as I *increased* the resolution with each change, it was fine, but if I decreased, it blew up). I would greatly appreciate it if people could test these on as many different platforms as possible and let me know the results.

To test after installing and rebooting, try running gnome-display-properties and then changing to different resolutions, rotations, and refresh rates. On ATI, I already know rotation fails horribly, and with -nv it seems not supported at all; but it ought to work correctly on -intel.
