Comment 19 for bug 173768

Hello folks,

Got the same here, with a fresh -installed- Hardy Alpha5 (+ current updates)
kernel i386 2.6.24-10-generic
KDE 3.5.9
python 2.5.2 (python says, but aptitude says 2.5.1-1ubuntu2 )
qt : 3.3.8-b-0ubuntu1 package
python-qt3 : 3.17.4.1ubuntu1

Error seems to come from /var/lib/python-support/python2.5/displayconfigabstraction.py
where the XSetup class is supposed to read the X config from /etc/X11/xorg.conf (default)
those are in fact the same conclusion as Harald Seipp.

The whole module is broken as the X settings has changed. Reading from the conf file fails and it certainly can't write a new-flavour conf file as well.
