Well I do not have two device sections:

more /etc/X11/xorg.conf

========================

and when I issue the

/usr/sbin/nvidia-config-display disable

command, as recommended in

file:///usr/share/doc/xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-185.18.36/html/chapter-04-section-04.html

I receive:

Segmentation fault

My card is a 9400gt 1024 MB.

Maybe there's a problem?
