Hi Mario,


I spent yesterday another two hours tracking the error. It looks like the issue is not related
to a missing /etc/X11/xorg.conf but related to the NVIDIA driver issues to detect the screen
resolution.

According to:

https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/Nvidia#Low%20Screen%20Resolutions

I have defined a modeline for 1920x1200 and set the Display to use this resolution only. 
Since then I had no more issues with X resolution.

Apologies for false alarm, please close this bug - sometimes it takes some time to find the
right Google search times to find a solution :-/

Bug description:
Dear Team,



after upgrading from 9.04 to 10.04 (fresh installation) on a very stable system using an Intel 160 GB SSD as
operating system drive I noticed:

  /etc/X11/xorg.conf 

is missing after every second or third reboot. 

I need xorg.conf to use with NVIDIA drivers to use VDPAU. Without the file the system boots into low-graphics
mode and will not play TV or recordings.

This happened more than 10 times on a single day. 

My workaround was to remove write rights on xorg.conf and /etc/X11 for everyone. Since then its fine.
