Bug Description
Binary package hint: nvidia-settings
I'm running nvidia-settings via sudo, so it has the permissions to save the file.
When I click "Save to X Configuration File", a popup saying "Failed to parse existing X config file '/etc/X11/
VALIDATION ERROR: Data incomplete in file /etc/X11/xorg.conf.
Device section "Default Device" must have a Driver line.
When I click OK in the dialog box, it gives me an option to save anyway. Also, it's worth noting that Apply button does it job and applies changes.
The problem started after upgrade to Natty. I'm running Kubuntu x64.
Duplicate of bug #477309. Please run "nvidia-xconfig" first.
