Comment 19 for bug 286424

I just installed Ubuntu 8.10 RC and had the same problem described above. After completely removing xorg.conf and running nvidia-settings as root, I was finally able to save a new xorg.conf.

However, there is a new problem: I wanted to setup my notebook to use an external monitor as a separate X screen. After restarting the X-Server with the freshly created new xorg.conf, I get an error, and Ubuntu can only start in "low graphics mode". This is indeed very annoying, as the second monitor always used to work fine with previous versions of Ubuntu... I would appreciate it if this could be fixed...
