My regular setup is a laptop with an external monitor and when I have the external monitor connected, I want to disable to built-in laptop screen.
After upgrading to 13.10, my previous display configuration stopped working. However, I was finally able to get it similar to before by: 1) renaming ~/.config/monitors.xml (or deleting it) 2) running nvidia-settings and saving xorg.conf to /etc/X11/xorg.conf 3) running System Settings -> Screen Display to match it with nvidia-settings Both screens are active during the login screen, but upon login, my settings take effect. I was experimenting with the above three steps so that might not be the exact order of changes and interspersed with reboots. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to nvidia-graphics-drivers in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1241421 Title: Can't save nvidia settings in 13.10 Status in “nvidia-graphics-drivers” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: As I said in title I have problems with saving settings in nvidia- settings dialog.
