[Bug 88830] gnome display properties crashed

[lifewithryan]

Public bug reported:

I have an nvidia quadro 4, using legacy binary drivers from nvidia, got
the latest feisty updates.  that killed X.  tried to rerun the nvidia
install but if failed while compiling the kernel because it couldnt'
find config.h.  I copied config.h from the 2.6.17 source just to see and
it did compile and allowed X to start.  however, i am no able to select
any resolustion higher than 800x600.  if I use ubuntu's drivers, I can
select 1440x900 but the resolution isn't quite right as the bottom
toolbar is completely off the bottom of the screen.

I went into the display properties to see what I may be able to do about
it and it crashed.
