Comment 9 for bug 109703

I don't know if this makes sense, but dolphinhomer, could you try changing the config to something simpler. I was given the advice in bug https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/82312 (see there for specifics) to indicate my tvout config in a different way and it seemed to work (after messing a round a bit). Apparently nvidia drivers are now more self-managing, so they need less specific input from xorg.conf. You may need to add the nvidia-settings package to your system.

Another thing you could try is to dig around on the nvidia forum, perhaps you can get a hint of the meaning of the error message? It's very uninformative on its own.

good luck
