Nvidia-Settings saving to xorg.conf as user says "Failed to parse existing X config file '/etc/X11/xorg.conf'!"

Binary package hint: nvidia-settings

I changed my monitor resolution and refresh rate to 1024x768 and 85Hz. I then clicked save to x configuration file. It poped up a dialog box saying:

"Failed to parse existing X config file '/etc/X11/xorg.conf'!"

Nvidia-Settings then crashes. I am running the program as a normal user.
