[Bug 371544] [NEW] Gnome display properties saying "Please log out and log back in again"

[David Kedves]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: xserver-xorg-video-intel

I'm installed xserver-xorg-video-intel (2:2.6.3-0ubuntu9.1) jaunty-proposed;
and i'm using multiple (2) monitors to work...

Somewhy only one monitor can work with this intel video driver,
so i checked what is changed :
121_i965_default_to_virtual_2048_2048.patch
Seems that patch causing this issue...

I cannot get work both monitor same time
( Gnome display properties saying "Please log out and log back in again" , i tried it: logging in and out isn't working,
 i applied the upstream patch from: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-desktop/+bug/365210,
 that is also useless for me...), so i changed that in patch file 2048x2048 to my virtual resolution to 2704x1050, and everything is working fine again:
Here is my modified patch:
