Comment 36 for bug 198951

Thanks, although unfortunately it's inconclusive whether xrandr 1.2 is supported.

So... I decided to code up a big workaround (disable the daemon on drivers that won't support it). This won't fix the gnome-display-properties crash, but if you are experiencing the daemon crash, please see bug 199960, where I've posted the deb for this (hopeful) fix. If it works out, then it gives me some ideas on how to solve the config tool as well. Please see that bug and test the deb.
