Just noticed that the latest nvidia drivers 6016? include a gui settings manager. Run from ./nvidia-settings.

Cool.

More info on the nvidia site.

Neat. I think the newest version is 6111 though.

6111 has it as well. Very nice tool. I especially like tweaking mouse drop-shadows and the monitors digital vibrance(really makes colors pop).

Is anyone having issues where if you reboot, your nvidia-settings do not hold. I mean, they hold but do not "kick in" until you run nvidia-settings.
For example if you set the digital viberance to something noticable and reboot, your digital viberance settings will not be noticable anymore until you run nvidia-settings, then it will "kick in"
I do not want to have to run nvidia-settings everytime i turn on my computer. Is there a way around this?
Thanks

If you're running nvidia-settings as a regular user the changes you make may only affect that user. Have you tried making these changes as root instead?

[johnnydingills]

I found the fix.
making the changes as root has the same problem.
you can run "nvidia-settings --load-config-only" to load the settings without running the gui.
So i'm just going to set my system to run this in rc5.d
Thanks

I just ran across this nvidia-settings user guide for anyone that might still playing with this:
