Alberto,

Unfortunately I cannot. It happened on my work laptop, and I can't risk any
downtime. I can, however, send you the xorg.conf file (attached) that was
causing problems.

Timeline:

   - Initial install of Xubuntu 13.04
   - Upgraded all packages
   - Upgrade to 13.10
   - Install nvidia-319 drivers
   - Install nvidia-prime
   - Upgraded the ubuntu base around the middle of November (The 13th if
   memory serves)
   - Problems began

The only solution for me was to delete the xorg.conf file. LightDM was a
false lead (I suspect).

Digitally,

Daniel Hinton
