(This is a continuation of thread: Installing nvidia driver?).



I am able to detect and configure an external monitor using nvidia-settings program. However, when I try to save my configuration, nvidia-settings complains that it can't save to xorg.conf.



It states that: "Default Device" must have a Driver line.



Now, I ran nvidia-settings using sudo, so this isn't a permissions problem. Here's my file (I am typing it by hand, since my ubuntu laptop has all sorts of config errors, created by my overconfident self. :)



Section "Device"
Identifier "Default Device"
Option "NoLogo" "True"
EndSection


Do I just add a driver line? And what should it look like?



thanks.

Run nvidia-settings as root



gksu nvidia-settings


You can then save your setting.



When saving, unselect the "Merge with existing file" box
