I'm having the same problem. "lspci" list the VT1708 but it isn't there
in "Sound Preferences".

That is the solution I offered about four releases ago. Check reply #18
in this thread. Then read all the guff I received for daring to suggest
you run a GUI app as superuser.

As I said, there is no .nividia-settings-rc file on my machine so I
don't much care where it is saved. And at the rate its taking I'm not
really concerned about what happens after "the bug is later fixed." It
will undoubtedly occur after I've installed another release anyway. I'm

This pretty much says it all. Alberto was going to write the patch but
asked the higher ups how they wanted it done and never got a response.

To those who feel I've been overly aggressive in my comments, I'll just
say that after dealing with this situation through three releases, my
patience has worn thin. Over a year ago, I went so far as to write a
script that would warn the user about the dangers of running the applet
as root, check
And I say there is a very good reason for doing so. It is the only way
to get dual monitors to work for the average user. The only other way
is to change the ownership of xorg.conf which belongs to root to begin
with. There is NOT a good reason for not allowing nvidia-settings to
run with root p
I'd really like for someone to explain in REAL terms, not some
theoretical BS, just what makes gksudo a hack, and Policy-Kit, which no
one seems to be capable of implementing, not a hack. If gksudo is a
hack, I'll still take a working hack over a non-working Policy-Kit
everyday of the week.

Calling something that works perfectly well a hack is nonsense. The
perfectionists that keep claiming this have had plenty of time to fix
this in the so called "right way" and it still hasn't been done. It is
totally asinine to let this situation continue for two years when there
is a perfectly s
Both nv.sh and nv1.sh should be placed in the /etc/X11 directory with
the Menu pointing to nv1.sh.

Alberto;
Using PolicyKit is obviously the best appraoch and your effort is apprieciated.
All I intended the script alternative to be is something to use while that is
being done. Take a look at these and see if they won't work.

echo "It is not recommended that this application be run in
"Rationale: nvidia-settings doesn't have to be launched as root as it
saves the user's settings to ~/.nvidia-settings-rc (so as to have per
user settings)."
It may save some of the settings there, but not all. Try setting up
dual monitors without modifying xorg.conf.
And I still haven't seen any
For those purist that think it is too dangerous to have nvidia-settings
run as superuser by default, create a script that allows the user to
choose whether run it directly or as superuser and have it warn them of
the danger of possibly having to manually replace xorg-conf from the
CLI. Then have t
Oh?? There is a law saying "Don't run nvidia-settings" as a superuser?
Nonsense. So long as it requires the sudo password, there is no reason
not to do so except FUD. It is far better to have nvidia-settings write
to xorg-conf than to have a novice doing so through a terminal editor.
BTW, if yo

Solution: Edit the menu properties for Nvidia X Server Settings and
change the "Type" from "Application" to "Application in Terminal." Then
place "sudo" at the beginning of the "Command Line." Then when the Menu
option is clicked, a terminal window is openned and you are asked for
