Description
This means that you cannot change resolutions on X screens when using Nvidia's default dual-head configuration (TwinView). The suggested workaround is to use the older XF86VidMode extension for mode switches.
Issue reproducible with Nvidia drivers 185.xx, 190.xx on Linux (tested on Ubuntu 9.10 amd64):
$ xrandr -s 1
Failed to change the screen configuration!
