4 years ago I'm having issues with multiple monitors but not because of multiple GPU's. My configuration do not persist after reboot. I can create a separate issue thread but I thought to post mine here because sort of similar issues as the one above.
I tried the following:
$sudo nvidia-settingThen I configured my display setting and clicked "Save to X configuration File" after "Apply." When I reboot, changes do not persist.
I also tried:
$sudo nvidia-setting --load-config-onlyI have my settings saved in /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-nvidia.conf. Here are the permissions :

Hi there,
I posted this issue on Reddit but it bizarrely got downvoted so I am reposting here in the hope that someone can point me in the right direction:
I ordered a new system in anticipation for 20.04 release. It arrived on release day and works great.
However, I am having issues configuring multiple displays. I cannot for the life of me get my 2 side vertical monitors to work via the second GPU.
I apologise in advance for the Windows dual boot. I have to have it for After Effects unfortunately.
Firstly, my configuration:
Monitor Configuration:
Software Config:
The issue:
Perhaps i'm being dim but this configuration worked fine on my old system with a similar card configuration (dual 970) in Ubuntu 18.04 with the Nvidia 430 drivers without any messing about.
Can anyone point me in the right direction?
Thanks!
