If it's not, it means that the gpu-manager is not starting. For some reason the gpu-manager upstart job (/etc/init/gpu-manager.conf) must not be starting on your system. No gpu-manager means that the system won't adapt when you switch to a different driver or when something goes wrong (and you'll have to configure things manually). -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1310489 Title: xorg.conf overwritten by booting system To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubuntu-drivers-common/+bug/1310489/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
