I had the same problem on my Dell XPS L502x. That was after I installed nvidia 
drivers using apt-get command (sudo apt-get install nvidia-current). I 
uninstalled nvidia-current and reinstalled it using "Additional Drivers" tool 
built into Ubuntu. After I activated the driver, I copied xorg.conf provided by 
Martin. The BusIDs were same as those for Martin's Alienware system.

Regards,
Sunil

Hi people,

I managed to use Martin solution with an external monitor. I followed the how to 
but I still cant run vglrun glxgears ([VGL] ERROR: Could not open display :0.1.) 
I tried solution CRT-0, DFP-0. nothing.  Ill post my xorg.conf and my xorg.log. 
Thanks for all.
