module Display could not be loaded in System Settings

[rordog]

When I go to System Settings and click on Display, I get the error "The module Display could not be loaded"

This is the output from "kcmshell displayconfig"

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<string>", line 8, in kcontrol_bridge_create_displayconfig
File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/displayconfig.py", line 1677, in create_displayconfig

return DisplayApp(parent, name)
File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/displayconfig.py", line 443, in __init__

self.xsetup = XSetup(self.xconfigpath)
File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/displayconfigabstraction.py", line 156, in __init__

xorg_unused_device_sections.remove(device_section)
ValueError

list.remove(x): x not in list

error: *** runFunction failure


Any ideas? I've googled this to death. I suspect it might be a problem with my xorg.conf settings, but other people have suggested that its broken packages and I need to re-install a bunch of stuff. I'm at a loss.

Tried to install XGL/Compiz?

I got the same thing.

I did in fact and gave up on it for now. Did you fix yours and if so how?

Re: module Display could not be loaded in System Settings

I have NOT tried to install xgl or anything like that. Yet I'm getting something similar. There was an xinit update the other day but I didn't pay much attention to it. I am using the nvidia driver from restricted but why would the display applet not even run? when I run it from a terminal i see

Re: module Display could not be loaded in System Settings

I did some tests. It's because I'm using both the laptop lcd and monitor at the same time. If I just use one or the other it works fine. Which is still a problem. It used to work fine with both devices and I could choose which device to work with etc. But at least I have a work around for now.
