Here don't listen to those guys...just kidding!
if you want nvidia-settings to globally stick, you need to put nvidia-settings -l into Xsessions
in kubuntu it is
#sudo kate /etc/X11/Xsession
in ubuntu it is
#sudo gedit /etc/X11/Xsession
and paste the "its little l by the way"
the portion should look like this
Code:
#!/bin/sh
#
# /etc/X11/Xsession
#
# global Xsession file -- used by display managers and xinit (startx)
# $Id: Xsession 967 2005-12-27 07:20:55Z dnusinow $
nvidia-settings -l
set -e
and then you have the rest of the code which im not posting.
anyway, reboot and it takes effect. If you want to test it out, open up nvidia-settings, then raise the brightness, close and reboot. then you will see that the drivers take effect. This is the perfect way to get nvidia-settings to stick in all user desktops.
Now I recommend kaffeine for kde and smplayer or kaffeine for gnome. Make sure in smplayer, you use direct rendering and ......damn i forgot..ohh yeah use opengl. This syncs video playback. Fix compiz normaly like you do. Since nvidia-settings kicks in before compiz fusion, this fixes all problems because compiz kicks in after. so nvidia settings will stick.
Everybody has been looking for the secret sauce and here it is. The guy who posted ontop is partially correct but it only works for hary and lower. You need to have nvidia-settings start off before compiz starts or settings will not stick.
do the brightness check and you'll see the difference and dont forget to reset brightness before you forget..... also if your using a compositor, nvidia-settings will take effect after a reboot. If your not, then you need to not reboot....lol
