Bug description:
On a MacBookPro 5,1 and a clean install of Karmic, 64-bit the steps to repeat are:

System > Administration > NVIDIA X Settings > X Server Display Configuration > (Set things for external LCD... ) > Apply > Save to X Configuration File

will result in:

Failed to parse existing X config file '/etc/X11/xorg.conf'!

The same when launching from the terminal as a superuser. In the past (under Jaunty 64-bit, at least) the superuser "method" was working.
