I am trying to keep a resolution already provided by NVIDIA X Server Settings permanent across boots. I have tried various xorg.conf files to no avail. I can change the resolution in the GUI without a problem, but how is the resolution set via xorg? Even a nvidia-settings command would suffice. Here is my current xorg.conf:
Code:
