I’m migrating over from other Linux distros, and ordinarily I would drop my desired screen configuration in /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d
and be done with it.
I’ve tried using environment.etc."/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-nvidia.conf"
to export the necessary config which places the file correctly, but doesn’t appear to be loaded. I noticed that from using cat /var/log/X.0.log | grep Using.config
that nix is using a default configuration file that contains its own screen section and presumably overriding my config file I placed. I also tried setting services.xserver.config = "";
but that doesn’t actually change the configuration file being loaded.
Essentially, I need to get the metamodes line into the Screen
config in xorg.conf somehow, or to find a way to disable reading this config file in the first place. The config file actually has a device/monitor section as well, however I thought it best to only show the relevant section.
Section "Screen"
Identifier "Screen0"
Device "Device0"
Monitor "Monitor0"
DefaultDepth 24
Option "Stereo" "0"
Option "nvidiaXineramaInfoOrder" "DFP-0.8"
Option "metamodes" "DP-4: nvidia-auto-select +3840+0 {viewportin=3840x2160}, DP-0.8: nvidia-auto-select +0+0"
Option "SLI" "Off"
Option "MultiGPU" "Off"
Option "BaseMosaic" "off"
SubSection "Display"
Depth 24
EndSubSection
EndSection
I am currently using KDE and sddm, although I want to ensure all X window managers/desktop managers have this set correctly.
Does anyone have any suggestions on how to solve this? Thanks in advance.
