Description of Problem:
I was wondering how to enable coolbits on my mining rig?
Basically, the problem I’m having is that every time I add Option “Coolbits” “28” under the device settings on the xorg.conf file it doesn’t save it after rebooting. It resets to the original file settings.
Steps I’ve tried:
- changing ownership from root to myself + read/write settings.
- Tried editing with gksudo + gedit
- Tried editing with nano
I’ve done everything from change ownership / write settings where I can edit the file and save it. Except, when it saves it actually saves a dated version of it. EX: xorg.conf.0618207
Here’s an example of one of the device settings in the config file:
Section “Device”
Identifier “nvidia”
Driver “nvidia”
BusID “PCI:3@0:0:0”
Option “ConstrainCursor” “off”
EndSection
What I’m attempting to do is add Option “Coolbits” “28” underneath Option “ConstrainCursor” “off”. It will save but when I restart xorg.conf will revert back to the default file. After multiple times I’m not sure why it will save on the computer (both in the original and in the generated save file) and then when it boots it reverts back to the original xorg.conf settings.
Thanks in advance!
