Linux Lite Forums

Hi, I have a problem with editing xorg.conf.
I notice that Linux Lite always regenerate the file every-time I restart my computer so problem is how can I enable coolbits? because it always delete
every boot-up

I have tried edit the file manually and with this command but they don't work.

Assuming you already installed the nvidia video driver from Install Drivers:

1. Restart your pc.

2. Open a Terminal and enter each line:



3. Restart your pc.

Hi, Jerry

First, Thank for replying me
I did what you said step-by-step but It still regenerate new one IDK why (My monitor plugs-in to HDMI Intel on-board if it matter. and I intend to use as headless in the future)

This is xorg.conf before reboot (after using this command sudo nvidia-xconfig -a --cool-bits=28 --allow-empty-initial-configuration)

This is after I have restarted my PC.

So you have 4 monitors hooked into 3 different video cards?

I only have one HDMI plug into Intel on-board VGA. (Nothing plug into all Nvidia cards)
And I have 4 video cards which are GTX 1080, GTX 1060 x2, GTX 970 (and one Intel on-board, If it counts so it's 5 VGA).

So one monitor and 4+1 video?

Yes, It is. I just plug the HDMI just in case because I usually remote it by teamviewer.

Before we start, you're going to have to decide which nvidia video card (not the Intel) you're going to use. If you're plugged into the Intel and you reboot, it makes sense that it won't keep the nvidia settings, it's naturally going to load settings for the Intel.

Okey,so let me try again by plugging my monitor to one of my Nvidia card.
I will tell you my result soon.

Okey,
1. I plug my monitor to GTX 970 (from the Intel, Just to be clear I have only one monitor in the system.)
2. I applied these two commands
3. Then I rebooted my PC

After that it can't boot into the GUI. It takes me to TTY and when I place Ctrl+Alt+F7, It show only black screen.
This is the xorg.conf that make my PC can't get to the GUI.
