OK, how can i run this:

xrandr --output DVI-D-0 --mode 1920x1080 --rate 144

on startup?

OR:

Make nvidia-settings remember that I've set it to 144Hz and not 60Hz

See the post here: wiki.ubuntu - xrandr, this shows you several ways to do it.

You need to start nvidia-settings as root:

sudo nvidia-settings

Go to X Server Display Configuration

change the rate to 144 and click on Save to X Configuration File

Now it should be permanent.

How ever if you want to start your script, when you log on, then you could use ~/xinitrc to run your script.

If you don't want it, then you can use

system Menu > Preferences > Startup Applications

if you copy your script to ~/bin (because ~/bin is included in your $PATH environment), then you can enter the name, otherwise you must enter the full path.

  • I deleted my xorg.conf file and made a blank one. Then I did that Save to X Configuration File thing but not as root, but then a password promp appeared. Did I do this right?

  • Yes, but never delete config files, always back up them with mv configname configname_backup. If you have created the xorg.conf file, then open it nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf And search for Section Screen you should have the following option: Option "metamodes" "1920x1080_144 +0+0"

  • Can you post your xorg.conf file? Did you gave your script executable rights? chmod +x scriptName
