"-desktop:~$ sudo nvidia-settings" didn't help.
I did an clean os install too ubuntu 9.10 and the problem was solved.
At this moment everything works fine.
Thank you.

Onderwerp: [Bug 286424] Re: nvidia-settings crashes when user clicks Save To X Configuration File

this is a permission bug imo.xorg.conf is ok.the nvidia driver&ubuntu
dont seem to like eachother. "-desktop:~$ sudo nvidia-settings" lets you
bypass bug.if i can help in any way please let me know.

Status in “nvidia-settings” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed
Status in “nvidia-settings” source package in Intrepid: Confirmed

Bug description:
Binary package hint: nvidia-settings

Clicking "Save To X Configuration File" causes immediate crash of
nvidia-settings, after running sudo nvidia-settings to set up dual
monitors using TwinView.

Not sure if this is due to permissions related to the new X config
scheme (i.e. no longer using xorg.conf for display config)?  I am also
confused as to why the repo driver is 177.80, but the repo nvidia-
settings is 177.78?
