This is expected. The xorg.conf will normally be missing after
installation, but will show up after the hardware drivers are installed.

Please don't download drivers from NVidia for this test. The reason we
are testing is to make sure the drivers supplied by Ubuntu are working.
Downloading the NVidia drivers does not do that. Complete the tracker
as much as you can, check for bugs that are filed, and file new bugs or
comment on the old bugs.
