Hi Νίκος,

This bug was reported a while ago and there hasn't been any activity in it recently. We were wondering if this is still an issue? Can you try with the latest development release of Ubuntu?  ISO CD images are available from http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/releases/ .
        
If it remains an issue, could you run the following command from a Terminal (Applications->Accessories->Terminal).  It will automatically gather and attach updated debug information to this report.
        
apport-collect -p linux 469729
        
Also, if you could test the latest upstream kernel available that would be great.  It will allow additional upstream developers to examine the issue.  Refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds .  Once you've tested the upstream kernel, please remove the 'needs-upstream-testing' tag.  This can be done by clicking on the yellow pencil icon next to the tag located at the bottom of the bug description and deleting the 'needs-upstream-testing' text.  Please let us know your results.
        
Thanks in advance.

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.
