Im trying to edit the xorg.conf file on my diskless MD but the changes I have made keeps reverting to the original. Im trying to change from vesa to nVidia....

Is there some other file that I should be editing instead?

There is a script that rewrites the settings if it detects a change. I haven't found it or how to defeat it but I have managed to change the settings andget them to stick. But I'm not sure what I did that actually did it.

Either editing after killing x (from a terminal run init 3 or you can run /usr/pluto/bin/Stop_X.sh) or ssh in from a remote terminal using Putty (log into the core,  sudo su, ssh (MD's IP address) and edit the xorg.conf. But I'm not sure which.

Actually, if you protect the file LMCE will keep duplicating it and appending a number until you have thousands!

Try this instead (from the wiki):

Add a line containing exit to the top of the /usr/pluto/bin/Xconfigure.sh file.
