Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: nvidia-settings

Description: Ubuntu 9.10
Release:	9.10

nvidia-settings:
  Installed: 180.25-0ubuntu1
  Candidate: 180.25-0ubuntu1
  Version table:
 *** 180.25-0ubuntu1 0
        500 http://gb.archive.ubuntu.com karmic/main Packages

I expected to be able to open nvidia-settings make some changes then save the settings to X configuration file as normal.  However this is not possible on Karmic as I receive unable to parse xorg.conf error.  It also says this error if I run sudo nvidia-settings.  The only way I can get my twinview configured is to manually paste the contents of my old xorg.conf into my new one for Karmic.

The actual crash recorded here was when I actually clicked save to X
configuration file button, it also crashes with admin privs.  To
recreate the bug simply install nvidia 185 driver and attempt a save to
Xorg in nvidia-settings.
