Well as the title says, I'd like to know how I can save the value of my overscan compensation (value is between 0 and 200) after reboot on Ubuntu 11.10. The graphics card I have is an Nvidia ION. I'd really like it so that it works without me having to do anything once I've set it. It's always needing the overscan value 100, so would like to have it as that. I've tried this fix to no avail. Any help would be appreciated!

Additional information: The setting for the compensation value is found under GPU-0 - (ION) tree item in the x server settings, and appears to be separate from the x Screen setting

Add nvidia-settings -l (this is a l as in load-settings, not an I as in Intention) to your desktop autostart. Read your desktop-environment / window-manager manual in order to find out where your autostart is.

-This worked 100% for IndyUK who seems to have had the exact same problem.
Ubuntuforums also has a similar question, which was solved the same way mentioned above.

The issue here appeared to be the Nvidia save settings was writing and adding my screen name in front of the settings when saved. I ran the command that wizlog suggested nvidia-settings -l from the command line and got an output similar to this. I've then gone about finding out why the errors were occuring, and found out that simply changing all of the hostname:0.0 to simply 0 fixed this

Big thanks to wizlog for his persistence in this, and although didn't give the answer, certainly provided a basis for me to figure it out!
