version is 331.113, installed by the 'Additional Drivers'

not had any
problems. One thing I did notice is there is a 'Save to X
Configuration File' under the 'X Server Display Configuration'
tab on
launching the 'Nvidia X server settings' utility. I haven't
tried
this as my set-up is simple. Perhaps this might work better for
persistent reboots. I don't have the xorg.conf file in my
system.</p>

I'm having some problems with xorg (specifically the xorg.conf
file) on xubuntu 14.04. I'm using the NVIDIA supplied drivers
because I play League of Legends (please don't judge me =p ) and
the stock driver doesn't cut it.
<br>
Whenever I reboot my machine, the xorg.conf file disappears and I
have to tty1, kill lightdm, manually copy my xorg.conf.backup to
xorg.conf and restart the X server - a process which is becoming
more than a little tedious.
<br>
<br>
The issue of xorg.conf not being persistent is an older one
(changes to my second screen didn't persist across reboots) but
now it's actually deleting every time I reboot I've decided to
finally do something about it but quickly realised that my ideas
ran out past putting a script that does the above in an @reboot
cronjob!
<br>
<br>
Does anyone have any suggestions on how this issue might be
solved? Failing that, does anyone know if this is an issue in
Debian? I'm thinking of switching, having some issues with the
direction of the *buntu family, and if my xorg woes will be solved
I might just make the switch ahead of the Debian 8 release.
