[Watford] nvidia-settings-rc not saving

Please help somebody, this is driving me crazy now!

I have a GeForce 
<http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=108935#> 6200 running 
with driver 100.14.19 on 64bit Ubuntu Gutsy.

I have an old and reliable crt monitor 
<http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=108935#> and a normal 
crt tv. The tv is connected by s-video and X is running with xinerama. 
however, nvidia-settings will not save the overscan values to the 
.nvidia-settings-rc file.  everything works perfectly except this.  i 
want to have a dedicated mythtv pc but i don't want to have to log in 
each time to adjust the overscan...

if i manually try to add the lines to the .nvidia-settings-rc file of
0/TVOverScan[TV-0]=15

I get this error when re-loading the settings:

Invalid display device TV-0 specified on line 20 of configuration file
'/home/scmjsd/.nvidia-settings-rc' (the currently enabled display
devices are CRT-0 on scmjsd-desktop:0.0).

Any ideas anyone? 1000 thanks.
