I'm having trouble with nvidia-auto-select apparently overriding my settings in xorg.conf.
I used nvidia-settings to set my resolution to 1920x1080 and saved the file successfully to /etc/X11/xorg.conf. I confirmed that the desired resolution is in that file, but upon reboot it isn't getting used. I reviewed /var/log/Xorg.0.log which claims it is using my xorg.conf: [13.773] (==) Using config file: "/etc/X11/xorg.conf" and even claims to be using my resolution specified in that config file [14.000] (**) NVIDIA(0): Option "MetaModes" "1920x1080 +0+0 {viewportout=1850x1040+35+19}" ... [14.602] (II) NVIDIA(0): Validated MetaModes: [14.602] (II) NVIDIA(0): "1920x1080+0+0{viewportout=1850x1040+35+19}" [14.602] (II) NVIDIA(0): Virtual screen size determined to be 1850 x 1040 ... [14.624] (II) NVIDIA(0): Setting mode "1920x1080+0+0{viewportout=1850x1040+35+19}" Yet, further down in the log I see [16.472] (II) NVIDIA(0): Setting mode "HDMI-0: nvidia-auto-select @3770x2120 +0+0 {ViewPortIn=3770x2120, ViewPortOut=3770x2120+35+19}" which I assume is overriding my xorg.conf setting. I checked all the following locations and only found /etc/X11/xorg.conf which is the one I created via nvidia-settings: /etc/X11/<cmdline> /usr/etc/X11/<cmdline> /etc/X11/$XORGCONFIG /usr/etc/X11/$XORGCONFIG /etc/X11/xorg.conf # found /etc/xorg.conf /usr/etc/X11/xorg.conf.<hostname> /usr/etc/X11/xorg.conf /usr/lib/X11/xorg.conf.<hostname> /usr/lib/X11/xorg.conf How do I determine where the override is coming from? I'm running Ubuntu 16.04.3, nVidia 384.111, kernel 4.4. Xorg.0.log is attached. -- Jerry
