I recently enabled nvidia optimus (nvidia-drivers-319.17), which uses some quirky new xrandr functionality. This seems to cause some trouble for gnome-settings-daemon, making it fail like this: $ /usr/libexec/gnome-settings-daemon --debug [... blah ...] ** (gnome-settings-daemon:14488): DEBUG: GnomeSettingsManager: emitting plugin-activated xsettings ** (gnome-settings-daemon:14488): DEBUG: Plugin xsettings: active ** (gnome-settings-daemon:14488): DEBUG: GnomeSettingsModule 0x13a7770 initialising ** (gnome-settings-daemon:14488): DEBUG: Loading /usr/lib64/gnome-settings-daemon-3.0/libxrandr.so ** (gnome-settings-daemon:14488): DEBUG: Creating object of type GsdXrandrPlugin (gnome-settings-daemon:14488): xrandr-plugin-DEBUG: GsdXrandrPlugin initializing (gnome-settings-daemon:14488): xrandr-plugin-DEBUG: Activating xrandr plugin (gnome-settings-daemon:14488): xrandr-plugin-DEBUG: Starting xrandr manager (gnome-settings-daemon:14488): GnomeDesktop-DEBUG: loading: /usr/share/libgnome-desktop-3.0/pnp.ids ** GnomeDesktop:ERROR:gnome-rr-config.c:664:gnome_rr_config_load_current: assertion failed: (gnome_rr_config_match (config, config)) Aborted When I simply remove /usr/lib64/gnome-settings-daemon-3.0/libxrandr.so, gnome-settings-daemon works. I'm using KDE, so I just want gnome-settings-daemon to care about the looks of GTK apps and nothing else. Not sure what to do with gnome users though. Also, a quick google shows no sign of any upstream activity on this issue, but I wanted it documented for gentoo at least ;-) Reproducible: Always
Created attachment 348958 [details] my xorg.conf, equivalent to the one recommended by the nvidia-drivers-319.17 README (cf. Chapter 18 and 33.)
Please test 3.8.4 g-s-d version
Also, try nvidia-drivers-319.32 :)
I just cleaned all gnome stuff from my system, so I can't test this any more, and I'm also not bothered by it any more ;-)
