Re: [Bug 286424] Re: nvidia-settings crashes when user clicks Save To X Configuration File
Hi Bryce, Thanks for your update, I have applied the latest update to my Intrepid Beta, and I still find the same situation, would you pls kindly point out that how can I verify the fix is applied ? Thanks. (I can only check I am using NVIDIA accelerated graphics driver (version 180) from Hardware Drivers Panel) Thanks.

Re: [Bug 286424] Re: nvidia-settings crashes when user clicks Save To X Configuration File
use 177.80 (recommended driver).

Re: [Bug 286424] Re: nvidia-settings crashes when user clicks Save To X Configuration File
While getting help for my resolution problem, I was sent a working xorg.conf file that takes care of this bug. Apparently, there's something wrong in the xorg.conf file in the upgrade to Intrepid. I have posted it to the Pastebin at: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/65942/ You should be able to save your X settings in nvidia-settings now without the program crashing.
