    Load nvidia-settings at startup?

    From the Arch Nvidia wiki:

    Nvidia-Settings Autostart: You might like to apply the settings chosen using nvidia-settings at startup, firstly run nvidia-settings at least once in order for settings to be restored. The settings file is stored in ~/.nvidia-settings-rc. Then add the following to the auto-startup method of your DE:

    nvidia-settings --load-config-only


    I know in gnome its as simple as adding that line to "sessions" which worked for me but now i am using kde3 and I am unsure of how to do this.

    I know about the /.kde/.Autostart folder but i'm assuming i would have to write some kind of script to get that to work. Anyone know how i can do this or an alternative method for kde?

    Thanks

    Code:
    #!/bin/bash
    nvidia-settings -l
    This should do it. Make sure it's executable and save it as nvidia-start.sh or something in your autostart folder.
