How is this not a high priority issue?  Deletion of a working config
file should be a high priority, period, shouldn't it?  I had a working
14.04 system and ran updates with the result of breakage all over the
system (intel drivers don't run in SNA mode right for me, need UXA to
work properly).  Note that is upgrade not dist-upgrade.  I'm happy to
help troubleshoot this but it really seems a bad policy to give no
method of keeping a working config.  Hope the comments help,

Title:
  xorg.conf overwritten by booting system

Status in “ubuntu-drivers-common” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed
Status in “xorg” package in Ubuntu:
  In Progress

Bug description:
  Description:	Ubuntu 14.04 LTS
  Release:	14.04

  Hello,

  I am using a notebook with a quadcore AMD A10 and hybrid graficcard AMD/ATI Radeon HD 8650G / AMD/ATI Sun XT Radeon HD 8670A/8670M/8690M.
  After installing fglrx I generated the xorg.conf in the terminal with 'sudo aticonfig --adapter=all --initial' and it looked pretty good. Up to this point I was able to switch between the cards with the commands 'sudo aticonfig --px-dgpu' for the discrete card and 'sudo aticonfig --px-igpu' for the intigrated card to save power.
  After rebooting I realized that I was no longer able to switch between the cards and found that the xorg.conf will be overwritten whenever I modified it and reboot the system. The new (by boot) generated xorg.conf contains not the relevant information for switing between the cards.
  I attached both configuration in one file (xorg.conf.comparison). I will also provide the atisysteminfo-report.txt so far I will find the place where to attach.

  Edit: I fixed the error --> "AIGLX error: failed to open
  /usr/lib64/dri/fglrx_dri.so, error[/usr/lib64/dri/fglrx_dri.so: cannot
  open shared object file: No such file or directory]" but it changed
  not the bug of overwriting the xorg.conf.

  Regards,
  Uwe
