[Bug 286424] Re: nvidia-settings crashes when user clicks Save To X Configuration File

2009-10-09 Thread Higgs Boson
I was also experiencing the same issue with saving to xorg.conf via sudo 
nvidia-settings command.
nvidia-xconfig yeiled same results.. Peculiar !  I then decided to try v.173 
drivers with no success 
(flashing screen before and after sudo nvidia-xconfig and sudo 
nvidia-settings) I then had to
boot in console mode to remove v.173 drivers. using sudo apt-get remove 
nvidia-glx-173

I then used sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx-185  to reinstall drivers in 
console mode (no X) . Works!
Server Layout option was present in etc/x11/xorg.conf after install and reboot 
without the need for
sudo nvidia-xconfig and sudo nvidia-settings commands..

  Running dual monitors perfectly after configuring them through the 
nvidia-settings gui and saving
 (sudo priv necessary as always)

   I would suggest this method  if previous tactics fail.  Cheers!

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.  Confusing but hey it works..
