GPU Manager removes or replaces xorg.conf depending on Nvidia Prime settings.
When set to integrated graphics, xorg.conf gets deleted as expected.
When set to discrete GPU, xorg.conf gets written with failsafe values.

Title:
xorg.conf overwritten by booting system
Status in Linux Mint:
New
Status in ubuntu-drivers-common package in Ubuntu:
Fix Released
Status in ubuntu-drivers-common source package in Trusty:
Fix Released
Bug description:
Description: Ubuntu 14.04 LTS
Release: 14.04
----------------
== SRU Request ==
There is a regression in the gpu-manager that causes it to revert user
changes right before the first reboot after enabling the fglrx driver
or the nvidia driver on a system with hybrid graphics (Intel+AMD or
Intel+NVIDIA). This causes the gpu-manager to remove the current
xorg.conf and to switch to Mesa.
[Impact]
* This regression makes it almost impossible to use binary drivers on
systems with hybrid graphics.
[Test Case]
* Make sure to be using a hybrid system with Intel+AMD or Intel+NVIDIA GPUs.
* Make sure that the gpu-manager is not disabled (only necessary if
you disabled it manually).
* Remove all fglrx and nvidia drivers (keep the nvidia-common and the
nvidia-prime packages):
sudo apt-get --purge remove nvidia-331
sudo apt-get --purge remove nvidia-331
sudo apt-get --purge remove fglrx
sudo apt-get --purge remove fglrx-updates
* Install ubuntu-drivers-common from trusty-proposed.
* Restart the system.
* Install the binary driver (either fglrx or nvidia, according to the
available discrete GPU), reboot, and check that the binary driver is enabled
(attach your /var/log/gpu-manager.log)
- Expected: the (AMD or NVIDIA) discrete GPU is enabled.
- Bad behavior: the system switches back to the intel driver and the
discrete GPU is not used, despite the fact that the system was configured
properly.
[Regression Potential]
* Low. Systems that currently work will keep working as usual, the ones that
currently fail should finally work.
[Other Info]
* N/A
-----------------
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
