@Alberto Milone: The only reason for my previous comment is to highlight
the importance of this bug.

I had exactly the same problem as 'Alistair Buxton':

  How many cards? 1
  The number of cards has changed! <-- No it hasn't.
  Has the system changed? Yes <-- Wrong

/etc/X11/xorg.conf was removed three times (not in a row but,
apparently, randomly) before I decided to disable the buggy gpu-manager
for good.

Title:
  gpu-manager still deletes xorg.conf

Status in ubuntu-drivers-common package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  
  To reproduce:

  1. Create /etc/X11/xorg.conf
  2. Wait until there is an update for some package (I don't know which one, suspect an nvidia driver one).
  3. Reboot.

  Result: gpu-manager deletes xorg.conf.

  Expected result: gpu-manager does not delete xorg.conf.

  Despite claims of a fix, this is still happening.
