Description Nickolay V. Shmyrev 2009-03-16 23:06:56 UTC 
"could not set the configuration for CRTC %d"

and other strings. What does CRTC means here? What do you suppose user to do after that?
Comment 1 Federico Mena Quintero 2009-03-27 20:04:07 UTC 
"CRT Controller" - it's X terminology.

It is *VERY* unlikely that you'll ever see this message, as the calling code in gnome-display-properties and gnome-settings-daemon already does a bunch of preliminary checks to ensure that changing your RANDR configuration will actually work.

You would get this error if:

- GNOME passes an invalid value to XRRSetCrtcConfig() - but we do check that we don't pass bullshit data :)

- the X server can't allocate enough memory to satisfy the request - in which case you are screwed anyway.
Comment 2 Nickolay V. Shmyrev 2009-03-27 20:34:52 UTC 
But you need to translate it properly. Could you leave a comment for translators explaining what this message is talkign about?
Comment 3 Federico Mena Quintero 2009-03-27 23:33:01 UTC 
Sure. Done!
