[Klug-general] xorg woes

[jwmartnet .]

Is there an /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d directory?

Perhaps try putting your configuration files in there? Although that
is now IIUC the preferred method for configuration, deletion of the
config seems a little draconian... Is an Nvidia settings program
running with SU privileges at boot and overwriting your config?

I don't have a /etc/X11/xorg.conf file, it isn't needed anymore (may
not be true for Debian) but three files in /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d:
00-keyboard.conf to set keymap, 00-serverflags.conf, and
20-nvidia.conf.
