Public bug reported:
I have Ubuntu 12.04 fully updated some days ago.
I cannot save my monitor config resolution. By default it is started
with 1280x1024 but my monitor support on WIndows 1920x1200.
When I run the program from terminal I can see this errors:
$ nvidia-settings
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/share/screen-resolution-extra/nvidia-polkit.py", line 75, in

operation_status = main(options)

dbus.exceptions.DBusException:
com.ubuntu.screenresolution.Mechanism.AccessDeniedException:
com.ubuntu.screenresolution.mechanism.configure
ERROR: Unable to open X config file '/etc/X11/xorg.conf' for writing.
This error is triggered just when press the button "Save to X Configuration
File". I check the file permissions for the file xorg.conf
ls -ialh /etc/X11/xorg.conf
525956 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1,6K jun 13 22:31 /etc/X11/xorg.conf
If I start the nvidia-settings as root user, my file xorg.conf is fully
updated. So probably the error is because the program doesn't detect the
user privilegies.
