Comment 46 for bug 197153

@Florent and rbmorse: Thanks for confirming that the crash is gone on 855, that's a relief. So technically this bug is solved - system start up is no longer prevented. I'm dropping the priority and milestone.

For the separate gnome-display-properties crash, unfortunately that means this tool is not going to function on your system for now. I will add an error dialog so it errors out gracefully rather than gives a crash in these cases, but we need to explore that in more detail - please open new bugs (against the specific graphic driver) that gnome-display-properties does not run on your hardware? (This bug is getting rather long, so if/when we upstream the bug, it'll be clearer if it's focused on this one specific issue.)

I'll consider this bug closed once we have the error dialog in place. That will be post-alpha6 though.
