Bug Description

Hi,

I start hwdb-gui and click on forward. The program plays a sound file that I can hear, so I click again on "forward". Now the program says "Video" and stops working. I can still click on "cancel" though but the forward-button is disabled.

Following output can be seen on the console:

$ hwdb-gui
set[1]: Audio Test
doing test
set[1]: Video
Xlib: extension "RANDR" missing on display ":0.0".
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/hwdb-gui", line 153, in <lambda>
    self.advance.connect("clicked", lambda w: self.adv(self.xmlfile))
  File "/usr/bin/hwdb-gui", line 583, in adv
    set[2] = set[2]+self.get_xorgdata()
  File "/usr/bin/hwdb-gui", line 256, in get_xorgdata
    return retval
UnboundLocalError: local variable 'retval' referenced before assignment

This can be reproduced every time.

I'm getting exactly the same problem in my (as of today) up-to-date distro of Ubuntu 7.10.

rybu@rybu-laptop:~$ hwdb-gui
Traceback (most recent call last):

    return retval
UnboundLocalError: local variable 'retval' referenced before assignment
rybu@rybu-laptop:~$

Also, during the sound test, no sound is produced even though sound works fine on my system in all other apps.

I've been using Ubuntu 7.10 since beta 1 and it always crashes at the video
test. No sound either!
