Another useful tip might be to use the nvidia-settings program (Is that
the one you are talking about) But.... the settings you save will not
be automatically loaded on reboot...
For Ubuntu you need to goto Preferences>Sessions and add it in
somewhere. Add in like:

Name: nvidia-settings
Command: /usr/bin/nvidia-settings --load-config-only
Comment: Loads nvidia-settings at boot

Then any settings will be loaded at boot.

For Kubuntu create a script in /home/username/.kde/Autostart and make it
executable. Like:

$ nano /home/username/.kde/Autostart/nvidia-settings.sh

And in the editor type:

#!/bin/bash
sleep 10 && /usr/bin/nvidia-settings --load-config-only

Then save it with CTRL-X

...and make it executable:

$ chmod a+x /home/username/.kde/Autostart/nvidia-settings.sh

A third way that will work for both the above and Xubuntu is to add it
to your .xinitrc file but it seems this file is not created by default...
