This is happening to me also, but in Jaunty. I simply tried to change the resolution on one of my displays (I have a dual monitor setup) and this crash occurred right after it told me that it is not possible to change it do to the improperly set virtual size. Why does one have to manually set the virtual size in xorg.conf? Shouldn't that be done automatically?

As regards what is described in the bug report, I have found a solution to the problem and I made it available in my bzr branch (whose content is now ready for an upload to Ubuntu's repository):
https://code.launchpad.net/~albertomilone/screen-resolution-extra/main

Here's the source:

As regards Dragan's question, that is something that the intel driver already does when the UXA acceleration method is set. It may still be necessary to set the virtual resolution if the required framebuffer is bigger than 2048x2048 though. In the future setting the virtual resolution should no longer be necessary but currently it's the only way to get these things to work.

This bug was fixed in the package screen-resolution-extra - 0.7

---------------
screen-resolution-extra (0.7) jaunty; urgency=low

  * policyui.py:
    - Catch AttributeError exception if there are duplicate virtual options (LP: #282283).
    - Import xorgparser so that XKit exceptions are actually caught.

I don't use Intel driver. My video card is an ATI Radeon 7000/VA (a.k.a
RV100 QY). It uses Xorg's radeon drivers.
