Chris, thanks! That worked perfectly! Had you not pointed out these commands, I would have been lost. I was hopelessly trying to chmod the nvidia xorg.config file, but these two commands fixed the problem instantly.
Many thanks Underling --- On Sat, 11/28/09, Chris Johnston <ch...@chrisjohnston.org> wrote: From: Chris Johnston <ch...@chrisjohnston.org> Subject: [Bug 462968] Re: unable to save X-Server configuration file with Nvidia nforce graphics card To: underlin...@yahoo.com Date: Saturday, November 28, 2009, 12:08 PM Underling, try running from the command line: sudo nvidia-xconfig and then run: sudo nvidia-settings You now *should* be able to save your settings..

Status in One Hundred Paper Cuts: Invalid Status in Ubuntu: New Bug description: This is a problem with the X-server configuration file that the Nvidia control panel should save resolution settings to, but cannot overwrite or backup the related file (/etc/X11/xorg.conf), and thus, when booting the computer for a fresh run, the resolution is each time reset to 800x600, even though the monitor can resolve at 1200x800. The issue only happens when the computer is turned off, then when it is turned back on, the settings have reset and each time I need to change them back to my preference. I discovered that the problem originated in the conf file, which even logging into root, and admitting every sort of permission to the file, I could still not save changes or rewrite the file. -- unable to save X-Server configuration file with Nvidia nforce graphics card https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/462968 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
