10 Delete your xorg.conf file. Then, create
11 "/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/nvidia.conf" with these contents:
12
13
14 Section "Device"
15 Identifier "NVidia GeForce GTX 560 Ti"
16 Driver "nvidia"
17 EndSection
18
19 Section "Screen"
20 Identifier "Screen0"
21 Device "NVidia GT 610M"
22 DefaultDepth 24
23 Option "metamodes" "1920x1080 +0+0"
24 SubSection "Display"
25 Depth 24
26 EndSubSection
27 EndSection
28
29
30 (Replace "1920x1080" with the resolution you want.)
31
32 Also make sure to start "nvidia-settings --load-config-only" when
33 starting X. Unfortunately, Gentoo does not do this automatically (like
34 Ubuntu and other distros), so you need to do it manually by putting this
35 in "/etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc.d/95-nvidia-settings"
36
37
38 #!/bin/sh
39 [ -x /opt/bin/nvidia-settings ] &&
40 /opt/bin/nvidia-settings --load-config-only > /dev/null 2>&1
41
42
43 and make it executable:
44
45 $ chmod +x /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc.d/95-nvidia-settings
