System Settings -> Display stopped working

Whats up with that? A fresh arch install with KDE. Display settings worked in the begininng but now nothing happens when I click it. All other settings work. Last thing I did in display settings was to set up dual monitors with nvidia tool.

Re: System Settings -> Display stopped working

It doesn't work... as in? Error message? Won't click at all? Tried unsetting the dual monitors? How about starting the config app from the terminal and seeing if you get error messages when you hit Display settings?

Nope no error messages. When I go to system settings, and click 'Display' the system settings window just disappears and nothing happens.

How I start it from terminal? Tried to google but to no avail

I opened my KDE menu in the editor, which told me it was systemsettings smile

Re: System Settings -> Display stopped working

thanks. Ok here's the error message from terminal:

systemsettings(7001) KRandRModule::KRandRModule: Error:  ""
KCrash: Application 'systemsettings' crashing...
sock_file=/home/tuomas/.kde4/socket-commander/kdeinit4__0

and I also got error popup which said: The application System Settings (systemsettings) crashed and caused the signal 11 (SIGSEGV).

Re: System Settings -> Display stopped working

OK I disabled xinerama from xorg.conf and it worked. But then again i didnt get dualscreen to work without xinerama (different sessions on both screens).  Or I did, but I only got black screen with the white X-cursor on the other monitor :S Any ideas to get it work?

Re: System Settings -> Display stopped working

There is a bug report for this over at Kubuntu. Maybe they'll come up with something other than disabling xinerama. (Or maybe that's where you got the idea?)
