Hi! Thanks for your response. I haven't opened up in terminal or
anything to edit it, is that what I should do? I was assuming it would
be best to use the actual NVIDIA settings (GUI) to make the changes...

Would I be better off to "reconfigure" X as a whole and go from there?
Or just open up terminal and do it command line style like you
suggested?

I guess what's throwing me off, is I assumed the NVIDIA GUI would have
the ability to create/append/backup the current CONF. 

Thank you so much for your help!

PS. Anyone have an opinion as to the best editor to use in XFCE?
