[Bug 477309] Re: When trying to save new X configuration, I get an error message: Failed to parse existing x config file '/etc/X11/xorg.conf'
Confirmed here with a clean install of Karmic (64-bit) and the
restricted '185' driver installed by jockey.
-----
apt-cache policy nvidia-glx-185
nvidia-glx-185:
Installed: 185.18.36-0ubuntu9
Candidate: 185.18.36-0ubuntu9
-----
When run from a terminal nvidia-settings reports:
-----
nvidia-settings
VALIDATION ERROR: Data incomplete in file /etc/X11/xorg.conf.
Undefined Device "(null)" referenced by Screen "Default Screen".
Segmentation fault
-----
The default /etc/X11/xorg.conf, in its Screen section, doesn't declare a
Device. Adding one to the Screen section solves the problem:
Section "Screen"
Identifier "Default Screen"
DefaultDepth 24
Device "Default Device"
EndSection
