try to put your custom xorg.conf back in /etc/X11/xorg.conf and it shouldn't be removed. If the system still removes it, please attach your /var/log/gpu-manager.log again as soon as you reproduce the problem.

[Desktop-packages] [Bug 1293789] Re: package nvidia-331 renames xorg.conf on non-Optimus systems
Well, I've just reinstalled nvidia-331 and its dependencies to recreate the problem with the nvidia-prime package, and this time my xorg.conf was left untouched, even after a reboot. This had never been the case before, so wasn't the case yesterday when I attached the gpu-manager.log in comment #3. (It was the same nvidia-331 version, though -- 331.38-0ubuntu7.) Something to do with the kernel update?

[Desktop-packages] [Bug 1293789] Re: package nvidia-331 renames xorg.conf on non-Optimus systems
The idea is that, unless either the hardware or driver availability changes, your xorg.conf will be left as it is. This is not caused by the nvidia-prime package. The gpu-manager (ubuntu- drivers-common package) does that. You can disable it for good by passing the nogpumanager kernel on boot, but I strongly recommend that you don't do so. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to nvidia-graphics-drivers-331 in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1293789 Title: package nvidia-331 renames xorg.conf on non-Optimus systems Status in “nvidia-graphics-drivers-331” package in Ubuntu: Triaged Bug description: On my (and other people's) non-Optimus system(s), installing nvidia-331 also pulls in nvidia-prime via a recommends dependency.

[Desktop-packages] [Bug 1293789] Re: package nvidia-331 renames xorg.conf on non-Optimus systems
that's not what happens here on Ubuntu 14.04. As I said, if you can reproduce the problem and then attach your /var/log/gpu-manager.log after that happens, I will be able to tell you why that happened and see if it's a bug.

I'll post another gpu-manager.log if it happens again, but so far everything's been fine -- as of some time today.
