[SOLVED] X.Org Config with GTX 1050 Ti

Hi @ all,
this is my first setup with 3 monitors with Arch. I'm able to get all 3 screens to run but after arranging the screens with the nvidia-settings tool or via the gnome display settings and a reboot the arrangement gets lost.
I tried to manually configure the 20-nvidia.conf but I can't get it to run. I also used the command nvidia-settings --load-config-only in the ~/.xinitrc but that didn't made a difference.

I'm stuck with my Arch / X.Org Ninja and hope somebody of you has a idea.

Re: [SOLVED] X.Org Config with GTX 1050 Ti

How did you try to manually configure 20-nvidia.conf?
Please show the output (in code tags)

I possess a device, in my pocket, that is capable of accessing the entirety of information known to man.
I use it to look at funny pictures of cats and to argue with strangers.

That's not an error message: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=57855

Paste the conf. Are you running X or Wayland?

Re: [SOLVED] X.Org Config with GTX 1050 Ti

Thx for the quick response. After a complete reinstall of all config files it works now like a charm. Did that twice already. I don't know what is different now. Here are my conf files if anybody else has same issue.

Re: [SOLVED] X.Org Config with GTX 1050 Ti

Please notice that nvidia-settings creates full xorg.conf files, not reasonable drop-ins for xorg.conf.d
The device section is useless, the input device sections most likely rubbish (I doubt you've xf86-input-{mouse,keyboard} installed), the monitor section a generic EDID consequence and the Screen and ServerLayout sections unspectacular.

tl;dr - try to move the file away and restart the X11 server. It will very most likely come up (a bit faster and with less junk in the log) and in that case you can delete the file.

thx for the input.

I deleted the 20-nvidia.conf file everything is still working but the system won't necessary boot or respond faster. I will keep it like this for now.
