This bug is still present. I used the original fix from over a year ago
(nvidia-xconfig then nvidia-settings). Why so hard to add a prompt to
run nvidia-xconfig to the .deb package when it's installed if there's
not a valid xorg.conf on the system? Hours of frustration here.

Perhaps we should consider include the basic xorg.conf file when
nvidia-settings start to avoid this error.
The problem occured in both Jaunty and now Karmic Beta.
Daniel Holbert's Fix (added line Device Default Device under the

Well so much for all that. After submitting above comments I was
alerted with the crash warning.. Weird that it took a while, However
settings are saved as they should.Everything works and saves correctly
but a crash warning is issued some time after successfully editing and
saving to xorg.conf.
There's actually a HUGELY simple fix for this.
The error message given indicates that xorg.conf is failing to validate
because Screen doesn't reference a device, basically.
You can fix this by adding this line to /etc/X11/xorg.conf, under Section

This is so silly - The file /etc/X11/xorg.conf is write protected for a
user and the process doing the update requires that the file ALREADY
exist before the update. So we have to manually remember to create it
before using the nvidia tool.
