cannot save chnages Xconfiguration file.

I'm using 9.10 64 bit. when I change the CRT resolution to a different one than the default I cannot save the changes to the xconfiguration file, it says failed to pass existing x config file '/etc/X11/xorg.conf'

Do you have an nvidia graphics card? If so, you just need to remove your old xorg.conf file and let nvidia-settings generate it's own.


sudo mv /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.backup
This will make a backup of your xorg.conf file and make a backup. Also, try running nvidia-settings as root:

gksu nvidia-settings
And you should be able to save a new configuration file.
