I just installed [yum] system-config-display and get the following message when I try to use it:
[bobg@box9 ~]$ system-config-display
(xconf.py:4947): Gdk-WARNING **: DESKTOP_STARTUP_ID contains invalid UTF-8 Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/share/system-config-display/xconf.py", line 376, in <module> dialog = xConfigDialog.XConfigDialog(hardware_state, xconfig, rhpxl.videocard.VideoCardInfo()) File "/usr/share/system-config-display/xConfigDialog.py", line 641, in __init__ if len(self.xconfig.layout[0].adjacencies) > 1: IndexError: index out-of-bounds
All I want to do is determine what display parameters I am using?
What's wrong here?

Well...FWIW, it works here fine on a fully updated F12 in both KDE and GNOME sessions. The GNOME session does have the following set....
[gnomer@f12 ~]$ env | grep DESK IMSETTINGS_INTEGRATE_DESKTOP=yes DESKTOP_SESSION=gnome GNOME_DESKTOP_SESSION_ID=this-is-deprecated
Maybe you should check yours and see if there is another environment variable of DESKTOP_STARTUP_ID set with some weird characters?

Yes, I did that but it does not work? I should have mentioned this box is still F-11.

I should have said this is F-11/XFCE. I don't have the F-12 box running at the moment ...
[bobg@box9 ~]$ env | grep DESK IMSETTINGS_INTEGRATE_DESKTOP=yes

OK....
From my fully updated F11 system and running XFCE
[egreshko@f11 ~]$ env | grep DESK IMSETTINGS_INTEGRATE_DESKTOP=yes DESKTOP_SESSION=xfce4
And it works.....

Ed I must admit I don't know how to change "env" and man env is not helping. I did : env DESKTOP_SESSION=xfce4 but that did not make it work. It asks for pasword and then comes up with the error message. I even tried re-booting the computer from "poweroff." I started the F-12 computer and did yum install system-config-display and it does work as expected. Well I'm nearly at the point of updating this computer to F-12 too so it's moot I guess. Just waiting to see if there is an F-12 Omega livecd. I would like to know how to change/add to the environment though? Guess google will tell me that if no one else does ... Thanks for the help. Bob

FWIW, I am pretty sure I was barking up the wrong tree.....
It seems that DESKTOP_STARTUP_ID is actually related to Xorg than anything else....and it is too late and I've got to get up too early to really delve into it.

It would seem that you've always started system-config-display as a normal user. I'd be curious if you'd first "su -" if the same error would occur.
Also, FWIW, there were several bugzilla's for various system-config-* utils with the same error message.

This is https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=480534
All I want to do is determine what display parameters I am using?
use xrandr
What's wrong here?
I guess you are using the proprietary nvidia driver.

export DESKTOP_SESSION=xfce4
Read the man bash, search for "export" keyword.
HTH, :-) Marko
Yes, that helps.
I should have added that the F-12 computer does not have that line, is like this F-11 box. The F-12 box works as expected, but this one does not even after the command "export DESKTOP_SESSION=xfce4."
Thanks

No I believe this on board video uses an ATI chip?
It looks like I am not alone, just a late comer to the discovery of a known problem described in that bug. But it did offer "/usr/bin/gnome-display=properties" which provides the information I was looking for [1680 x 1050] as well as does xrandr:
[bobg@box9 ~]$ xrandr Screen 0: minimum 320 x 200, current 1680 x 1050, maximum 4096 x 4096 VGA1 connected 1680x1050+0+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 433mm x 271mm 1680x1050 60.0*+ 1280x1024 75.0 1024x768 75.1 70.1 60.0 832x624 74.6 800x600 72.2 75.0 60.3 56.2 640x480 72.8 75.0 66.7 60.0 720x400 70.1
Thanks.

I crawled out from under my 'lectric blanket at 03:00 to investigate this ...
I "su'd" to root and the results were the same. It's a recognized problem and probably not worth further investigation at this time.
Thank you.

Yes, I did that but it does not work? I should have mentioned this box is still F-11.
In that case, yum install kudzu. It is a missing dependency.

Ok, I installed [yum] kudzu but still the error persists. I have not re-booted though if that is required?

I'm getting the same error. I've followed the same steps as Bob, and getting the same error. This is also F11. Kudzu is installed as is system- config-display.
