Public bug reported: On a MacBookPro 5,1 and a clean install of Karmic, 64-bit the steps to repeat are:
System > Administration > NVIDIA X Settings > X Server Display Configuration > (Set things for external LCD... ) > Apply > Save to X Configuration File will result in: Failed to parse existing X config file '/etc/X11/xorg.conf'! The same when launching from the terminal as a superuser. In the past (under Jaunty 64-bit, at least) the superuser "method" was working.
