Nvidia dual monitor configuration gets lost every time I reboot
- by 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:
