Comment 26 for bug 298422

I am also using karmic Koala with 2:2.9.0-1ubuntu2, and have the same problem as Gray. I can not change the format to PAL.

When i am typing in:

xrandr --output TV1 --set mode PAL

the output is:

X Error of failed request: BadName (named color or font does not exist)
  Major opcode of failed request: 149 (RANDR)
  Minor opcode of failed request: 11 (RRQueryOutputProperty)
  Serial number of failed request: 25
  Current serial number in output stream: 25

Anyone who have have an explanation, why the works for Andreameroni, and not for me?
