I can confirm that. I get the same 'X Window System error' after upgrading to 1.0-8756
(In reply to comment #1) Some people on forums reported that this problem happens when one use dual screen. I also have dual screen configuration (tv-out, GeForce 5200).
Have you tried running nvidia-settings after deleting your .nvidia-settings-rc file? You would have to reconfigure things but it may fix your problems.
Yes I have tried it - error is exactly the same, but output excludes info on "not available attributes": The program 'nvidia-settings' received an X Window System error. This probably reflects a bug in the program. The error was 'BadMatch (invalid parameter attributes)'. (Details: serial 89 error_code 8 request_code 145 minor_code 4) (Note to programmers: normally, X errors are reported asynchronously; that is, you will receive the error a while after causing it. To debug your program, run it with the --sync command line option to change this behavior. You can then get a meaningful backtrace from your debugger if you break on the gdk_x_error() function.)
Please try the new x11-drivers/nvidia-drivers ebuild with the latest nvidia-settings (1.0.20060516-r1).
nvidia-settings-1.0.20060516-r1 runs just fine here w/ nvidia-drivers-1.0.8774; we need some response from reporter as well -> TEST-REQUEST.
