[SOLVED] Nvidia X server settings resets on every boot

Dithering setting is causing uneven contrast and screen flickering, i have to disable it manually on every reboot.
Is there a way to disable this setting permanently?

"nvidia-settings --help", check "-w" and "-l"

Re: [SOLVED] Nvidia X server settings resets on every boot

save the config and run nvidia-settings --load-config-only somewhere in a spot that is launched after xorg is started: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/NVIDIA#nvidia-settings

Or create a configlet under /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/11-disableDithering-nvidia.conf

Section "OutputClass"
      Identifier "nvidia"
      MatchDriver "nvidia-drm"
      Driver "nvidia"
      #Drop the DP-4: if you want it to apply to every monitor
      Option "FlatPanelProperties" "DP-4: Dithering = Disabled"
EndSection

Hi, @sachnr, How you solve the problem, could you briefly conclude it?
I tried to edit xprovile, add "nvidia-settings --load-config-only", still reset after reboot...

your display manager probably dosent source xprofile. you could maybe try making a systemd service.
