Hi,
Am on a new installation of the Cinnamon edition and the latest proprietary nvidia drivers.
I’ve followed Configure NVIDIA (non-free) settings and load them on Startup - Manjaro in order to persist changes in nvidia-settings (although there’s line about it/ some part of it not working with Cinnamon. Please tell me if that’s why I’m having this issue).
The /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/90-mhwd.conf part, with the resolution and whether G-sync and refresh rate persists across reboots and wakeups.
The things in ~/.nvidia-settings-rc however do not. (in my case changes to brightness and gamma I changed under GPU-0 DP-0 in nvidia-settings)
I added
nvidia-settings --load-config-only
exec $(get_session)
to ~/.xinitrc as the wiki suggests however it doesn’t appear to ever run. I tried adding a line to that file for writing something to a file in ~/ and that doesn’t happen either. If I run nvidia-settings --load-config-only or just nvidia-settings, manually, the gamma and brightess changes immediately.
I tried running nvidia-settings as sudo however then the .nvidia-settings-rc wishes to be saved in /home/root of course and I’m logging in as me when starting the machine. But if I set a different gamma as sudo that change is applied as well when I run nvidia-settings as sudi next time. It doesn’t run automatically after a reboot or wake either.
Is there a way to persist the nvidia-settings Config of .nvidia-settings-rc?
Can I verify that .xinitrc actually executes on login?

Thanks for any replies.
My machine has 1 gpu and 1 display, no built in graphics and no secondary monitor.
