    Dual monitor help

    I am trying to set up dual monitors with a nvidia 8400 GS
    got the nvidia restricted drive set up, for some reason the system only sees vga and not the dvi, if I try to boot up with just the dvi it still does not work.
    nvidia-settings does not see the second screen also.
    and when I try to click the save xorg.conf in nvidia-settings i get this message

    Unable to create new X config backup file '/etc/X11/xorg.conf.backup'.

    Can someone help me configure the xorg file or give me a xorg file that will work, I am trying to run a dell 1907fp on the vga which works fine and a viewsonic VA2012wb on dvi and neither monitors get detected by the dvi.
    Need help desperately.
