I'm another person being harassed by gpu-manager. Every couple reboots it decides the system configuration has changed and removes xorg.conf. That causes the machine to end up in an unusable state, because that xorg.conf was crucial to working around an issue with the NVIDIA driver (which I'm stuck with for various reasons), and so I'm left with blank screens and even the text consoles are trashed.

This machine is using Xen and has two video cards with one of them being "hidden" for passthrough to a VM, which may be something gpu-manager just can't make sense of. Its logs usually indicate that it thinks the number of cards has changed, even though I haven't touched the hardware.

I had already commented out the "start on" lines in gpu-manager.conf and that did *not* stop it from breaking my system configuration, so I guess now I'm going to try commenting out the entire file.
