No, that's not correct at all.

g-s-d/u-s-d do not run in Xubuntu, however, they do run in the greeter if the greeter is unity-greeter. They exit before Xubuntu desktop starts up, but at that point they have already ruined the monitor configuration.

Since they do not run in Xubuntu, there is no way to configure them. I can use randr to set up my displays, but it won't be saved to g-s-d because g-s-d is not running. This is true regardless of what graphics card I use.

This is not a feature request to detect custom nvidia configs, it is a feature request to not stomp all over the standard interface for configuring Xorg, which is Xorg.conf.

Setting the bug name back to the original for this reason.
