Unhappy Xorg.conf issue via nvidia-settings


Ok first off I'm running Ubuntu 9.04(folds faster than 9.10) anyway I've been having issues with xorg.conf file and saving video configs. The GTS250 can do super crazy res comparied to what my monitor can take. It has a habit of using auto for screen res(Letters the size of pin heads) its been a pain in my a$$ to login and reset the screen res everytime I reboot.

After running sudo nvidia-settings and trying to save settings to xorg.conf file I get this error:
Code:
Failed to parse X config file 'etc/X11/xorg.conf (pop-up box)


VALIDATION ERROR:  Data incomplete in file /etc/X11/xorg.conf.
Undefined Device "(null)" referenced by Screen "Default Screen".(From terminal)
Contents of Xorg.conf
Code:
Section "Screen"
	Identifier	"Default Screen"
	DefaultDepth	24
EndSection

Section "Module"
	Load	"glx"
EndSection

Section "Device"
	Identifier	"Configured Video Device"
	Driver	"nvidia"
	Option	"NoLogo"	"True"
        Option  "Coolbits"        "1"
EndSection


Info from Nvidia-settings:

Thank you for all your help in this matter,
