I have two screens and sometimes I just want the 27" to display. So far I have tried to run the nvidia-settings as
sudo -s
nvidia-settings
But every time I reboot I have to redo my preferences.. My laptop is asus g75vw nvidia driver version is: 331.38 Ubuntu 14.04
I have tried with new drivers, nothing changed exept now the standard settings make the screen duplicate...
Is there any alternative simple way I can set settings to persists after reboot?
