When trying to conigure via nvidia-setting using root (sudo) and then saving to config file I get the ' Unable to open X config file '/etc/X11/xorg.conf' for writing.' in a message box - below is what i get on terminal:
Traceback (most recent call last):

ERROR: Unable to open X config file '/etc/X11/xorg.conf' for writing.
Tried sudo nvidia-xconfig before nvidia-settings (used to work a treat before) and even removing the xorg.conf and the backups too to start afresh and still getting the above errors!
Drivers: 195.36.15
GFX Card: nvidia geforce 8800GTX (768mb) PCI-E
Monitors: Samsung Syncmaster 2494hw & Samsung Syncmaster 2232bw (both DVI)
Thanks in advance and regards, Kieran.
