    NVidia X Server Does Not Save Configurations

    Ok, here's the deal, every time I reboot my system, I have to reconfigure my NVidia graphics card, if I try to save the configuration, I get an error that says:

    "Failed to parse existing X config file '/etc/X11/xorg.conf'!"

    And it closes, my system log says this however:

    "2009-11-30 21:59:11 TheLoneGunmen kernel [ 196.737416] nvidia-settings[2656]: segfault at 38 ip 000000000046b9b8 sp 00007fff81e986e0 error 4 in nvidia-settings[400000+a6000]"

    Is there a manual way to save my setting?

    This is what the "xorg.conf" looks like:

    Section "Screen"
    Identifier "Default Screen"
    DefaultDepth 24
    EndSection

    Section "Module"
    Load "glx"
    EndSection

    Section "Device"
    Identifier "Default Device"
    Driver "nvidia"
    Option "NoLogo" "True"
    EndSection
    The resolution I want to get is 1360x768 @70Hz

    So is there a way to manually input this into the xorg.conf file?

    Certainly there is a way, main question is do you have access to the GUI?
    If that is the case and you have the nvidia driver enabled you can open the Konsole and type:

    sudo nvidia-settings

    it will request your password

    Perform the changes you need and click "Save to X configuration file" button, that should do it

      I tried that, but I get the same error.

      Should I try deleting my xorg.conf file and then running that command again and saving it, or would that be a bad idea? I'm guessing it's having a problem rewriting the file to save the configurations, right?

        syslog shows stack dump, it looks like a bug in nvidia-settings.

        your solution:

        1. fire a bug to nvidia or to launchpad.

        2. use the newest version of driver from nvidia web site.

          Also - check permissions in your /home folder. There usally is some nvidia configuration file left. If you/your system don't have permission to write to it, than this can be a problem... sometimes. Anyway - doesn't hurt to check

            I would advise follow this:

            http://kubuntuforums.net/forums/inde...opic=3107406.0

            to reinstall the driver, and choose "YES" when it asks about writing a new X configuration file.
