Can you save the config somewhere else, like your home folder, and then overwrite the file in X11?

I have 7600 card and dual monitors I will post my xorg.conf when I get from work in the morning.

I have 2 monitors attached to a 9400 GT, but it has one VGA-out and one DVI-out, so probably not useful to you.
I suggest you chmod the xorg.conf so that you can save over it, save the file, then chmod it back.
