For MATE, and perhaps others, it's a monitors.xml file $ locate monitors.xml /etc/mate-settings-daemon/xrandr/monitors.xml /home/tim/.config/monitors.xml The first would appear to be a default, the second is one when I set up my system (it'll be an override). > And good luck getting one of them to actually save the default > the login box will use The login screen runs as its own user, and you can copy the configuration file (that you use) into their homespace. It's necessary that ordinary users can't change the login screen, at least on multi-user systems that you don't own. Only an admin should be able to that.
