I would like to setup an offset between my laptop screen and "normal" desktop monitor, so I could see the cursor entering Desktop screen in the same height where it leave laptop screen. I setup it in NVIDIA X server Settings in position, save X configuration File, reboot and viola! It works!

Until... I entered my password and hit enter. After that, all of my settings get back to previous state. Is there any xorg.conf in my home that overrides my settings after login or something like that?

I tried to put my settings into: * /etc/X11/xorg.conf * /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/60-custom.conf * /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/60-custom.conf

Everything fails...

60-custom.conf

Perhaps the solution would be to put the same changes into a script, set it as executable and let it run as a startup program.

  • How can I 'execute' xorg.conf from the script level?

  • What I did was that I put this command into startup applications:xrandr --output VGA1 --auto --left-of LVDS1 --output LVDS1 --scale 1.0001x1.0001 somaybe you can modify this into something you need. Aug 6, 2015 at 9:48
