Bug Description
the xorg.conf produced by /usr/bin/
according the the log is has to do with "RgbPath" which "is not a valid keyword in this("Files") section."
when this line is commented out everything works fine. though I'm wondering why this thing is not ok in the Files Section.
reproduce:
delete /etc/X11/xorg.conf
run nvidia-xconfig
restart X
Ubuntu:Intrepid
Kernel:
nvidia-glx-173:
Installed: 173.14.
Candidate: 173.14.

FFE request:
I am convinced that a stable release shouldn't ship with a tool which breaks the xorg.conf, therefore I have replaced the nvidia-xconfig binary with a python script (which depends on python-xkit) that covers the basic functionalities of the binary.
See the attached debdiff.
