    Xubuntu 15.10 -- Problems creating xorg.conf

    I have just installed Xubuntu 15.10 on my 5th Gen Intel NUC. All is good except that I need to tweak one of the X settings. I have tried using the same procedure that I used successfully with 15.04.

    Drop back to the console
    sudo service lightdm stop
    X -configure

    However, with 15.10 this results in:
    No devices to configure. Configuration failed.
    (EE) Server terminated with error (2). Closing log file.

    Graphics on the device is Intel HD 6000.

    All I want to do is create a xorg.conf file so that I can add:
    Option "Hotplug" "false"

    Maybe there's another way of disabling Hotplug?

    Any help appreciated.

    When I power cycle the display, Hotplug leaves the it blanked after the power is restored to the display.

    Hence my interest in customizing xorg.conf to disable Hotplug.

    Since I was unable to successfully accomplish that, I tried another route to the same goal that also worked on Xubuntu 15.04.

    Create /etc/udev/rules.d/hdmi.rules
    KERNEL=="card0", SUBSYSTEM=="drm", ACTION=="change", RUN+="/home/malch/hdmifix"

    And in /home/malch/hdmifix:
    #!/bin/sh
    export XAUTHORITY="/home/malch/.Xauthority"
    export DISPLAY=":0.0"
    xrandr --output HDMI1 --mode "1920x1080"

    This didn't work either. Arggggghhhhh!

    However, after some messing around, I did find a simple fix. A simple "sleep 2" before the xrandr.

    So I have a workable solution for the time being. However, it seems to me the issue with X -configure is likely to be a problem for others. If anyone else can confirm/reproduce this problem I'd be happy to file a bug report.
