Yes. You can set this stuff up in the nvidia-settings control panel. |
| 36 |
Unfortunately, the Gentoo nvidia-drivers ebuild isn't the best, and it |
| 37 |
doesn't install a start-up launch script for nvidia-settings (like |
| 38 |
Ubuntu and other distros do.) So when you change settings, you need to |
| 39 |
manually run nvidia-settings to restore them again after every login. |

I solved this problem by creating an executable file: |
| 42 |
|
| 43 |
/etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc.d/95-nvidia-settings |
| 44 |
|
| 45 |
with the following contents: |
| 46 |
|
| 47 |
#!/bin/sh |
| 48 |
[ -x /opt/bin/nvidia-settings ] && |
| 49 |
/opt/bin/nvidia-settings --load-config-only > /dev/null 2>&1 |
| 50 |
|
| 51 |
This restores the settings automatically on every X11 login. Ah well, |
| 52 |
welcome to Gentoo :-P |
