[Bug 173768] Re: The module Monitor & Display could not be loaded.

[Sundar Nagarajan]

I had this problem also (Hardy Heron kubuntu stable on AMD64). I was
just getting ready to give up, when I noticed the following error in the
displayconfig error trace:


    raise ParseException,"Unknown line type '%s' on line %i" % (first,line)
xorgconfig.ParseException: Unknown line type 'allowmouseopenfail#' on line 55
error: *** runFunction failure
;


I found that I had a line in xorg.conf that read:
AllowMouseOpenFail

man xorg.conf says:
" ... Boolean options may optionally have a value specified.  When  no  value is specified, the option’s value is TRUE."

Looks like displayconfig does not obey this convention.

Once I explicitly specified a value for the boolean like so:

AllowMouseOpenFail      "true"

displayconfig works fine.

Hope this helps in fixing the error / resolving the problem for others.
