Nvidia dual monitor configuration gets lost every time I reboot

sunwukung

I've recently updated (well, borked then completely reinstalled) to 12.04.

I'm running a dual monitor setup, with a Dell U2410 / Dell 2007WFP combination on an HP Elite Book 8560W. The graphics card is an NVIDIA GF108 [Quadro 1000M].

My problem is as follows. I can get the dual monitor setup working fine, but every time I reboot, my machine appears to lose the settings (specifically, the U2410 is disabled, the mouse pointer is locked in the launcher). I have to restate the settings after every launch. I've tried running nvidia-settings as sudo, I've save the changes to my xorg.conf file (see below) but nothing seems to be sticking.

Has anyone had similair issues, or know of a fix? Conf file follows:

The error message I'm getting is this:

none of the selected modes were compatible with the possible modes:

Misery

Remove all files Xorg.conf (or/and Xorg.conf.new) You can find (search in /etc/X11 /usr and in Your Home directory). Then run:

sudo nvidia-settings

and set options as You wish. Reboot. Did it help?

If that didn't help try to create Xorg file and manually change it. Please check this link for some help.
