I've had the same problem, I just select the preview file option then cut and paste it into the xorg.conf using vi or gkedit or whatever your favourite editor may be.

Ive done a bit of searching and i upgraded in Hardware drivers to version 195 that was recommended
I installed it restarted and i get xbmc to load and run now
But im getting the error It appears that your graphics driver does not support the necessary extensions to use this tool. Do you want to use your graphics driver vendor's tool instead? when i try to open display is this normal?
Heres my xorg.conf file

Right i did what fasteddy said then rebooted now the settings have changed so i have to change them manually in display and still getting the error It appears that your graphics driver does not support the necessary extensions to use this tool.
Still can use xbmc its so frustrating when i reboot it seems to get rid of my display settings and i have to do it manually
Heres my new /xorg.conf

Just to update ive played a few 720p mkv files in xbmc and there a bit blockey not noticed it before the upgrade can this because of the problem with the display settings also my browser in ubuntu seems slow to respond too
Is it posiable to downgrade to 9.4
