forgive my ignorance.

But when i hit ctrl+alt+f1 and go into init3 and back into init5 it kicks all my settings out
So if i understand you correctly, and i do that but dont go back into init5 and do the sax2 -r my settings will stick?

we need to be init3, totally out of X to run sax2 -r

I'm not saying it will work for sure, what graphics device do you have
post your
/etc/X11/xorg.conf

Ah - I think i see whats happening.

If I go into my x configuration utility manager "Configure X 11 system" - It tells me the complete wrong information (just like the xorg.conf file does)

BUT, if I go into Nvidia configuration manager and select 'save to xorg.conf' -> and i click save. It tells me it cannot overwrite it.

So, i'm guessing I need to figure out how to take the file I just saved on my deskto - the correct xorg.conf, and copy it into the etc/x11/ folder.

Does that make sense?
I'm even wondering if that would work..

Any ideas?
Still want me to post the two xorg.conf files?

Thanks,

Got it,

What I did was run nvidia-settings as root via alt+f2.
Then once in there it would let me save the xorg.conf file

So, now when i reboot i have all my settings for display. But display only.

How do I save the check box for desktop effects? I have to recheck the box on every x restart or reboot. Same with compiz as well...

What you think?

Depends which desktop you use, kde3, kde4, gnome

[getintanked]

kde3.5 on suse 11

[caf4926]

the setting is in the control center
kde components
session manager

change the window manager to compiz

[getintanked]

control center?

I'm not sure what that is exactly? Where would i find that?

thx, you've been so much help!
