Bug in nvidia-settings

C-Otto · 09-18-09, 06:32 AM

Hi there,

with nvidia-settings from 190.32 (x86_64) I see the following bug:

Situation: If "coolbits" is set to access the dangerous options, a long message is shown that must be read. It is only possible to click on "Okay" if one scrolls to the bottom of the message.

Bug: With 2560x1600 (and using a tiling window manager that shows this message with full height) one does not need to scroll, so it is impossible to click "Okay".

Thanks,
Carsten

Hah! What a great bug. I'll file an issue in our bug tracker.

This is not fixed in 256.35, yet. Could you check the bug report please?

Best regards,
Carsten

I just checked (it's bug 599653, for future reference), and it was marked fixed ages ago. Are you sure you're using the correct version of nvidia-settings?

Yes:

nvidia-settings: version 256.35 (buildmeister@builder97.nvidia.com) Wed Jun 16 19:14:45 PDT 2010

Huh. Okay, thanks. I'll reopen the bug.

Odd, I just tried this with AwesomeWM, and both buttons were enabled. I tried a copy of nvidia-settings from before the bug was fixed, and the problem did occur there, so it definitely looks fixed for me.

What window manager are you using?

I am using xmonad.

Any news? I'd like to cross this from my 'to check' list

I feel ignored.
