system administration 'nvidia x server'

And a further frustration i have to start @ 'system administration ...' every time i reboot

So what do i have to do to make the changes permanent? TIA

gksu nvidia-settings

do that in terminal, then apply your settings

Ok that almost got it. But i forgot to set the refresh rate to 60 & auto set it to 75 which produced a strange screen. After the panic was able to find terminal & went thru the setup again. That fixed the problem :-). Thanks
