How to persist display settings with ubuntu?

**Setup:**
**3 monitors**

**Ubuntu 20.04.2 LTS**

**Display manager: gdm3**

**Window system: X11**

**Config: xrandr**


Every time the system is booted, the monitor setup is a mess.
I have been reading a lot, for example:

[https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Config/Res..._in_xorg.conf][1]

What works is applying manually:

~/.xprofile

Which has xrandr commands, such as:

xrandr -- output DisplayPort - 1 -- primary -- mode 1920x1080 -- pos 1920 x 1080 -- rotate normal

But nothing is applied on boot or persists on reboot.

I have tried many things:


adding to

/etc/X11/Xsession.d/45custom_xrandr_setting
/etc/X11/Xsession.options

nothing


~/.xprofile
~/.xinitrc
~/.config/monitors.xml
~/.screenlayout/view1.sh

nothing


sudo vim /etc/gdm3
/etc/X11/Xsession.d/45custom_xrandr_setting
/etc/X11/Xsession.options

nothing



/etc/X11/xorg.conf
/etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc
/etc/X11/Xsession.d
/etc/X11/Xsession.d/99x11-common_start
/etc/X11/Xsession.d/45custom_xrandr_setting
/etc/X11/Xsession.options

nothing

Please help!
