Bug Description
I have two monitors (same model) and want the left one to be the primary monitor. When I make the setting in the nvidia settings tool it works as it should, but after a reboot the right monitor is primary again. It doesn't matter if I merge the xorg.conf or just overwrite it, neither works.

The workaround for this is to use the Ubuntu config tool in System Settings -> Displays. Drag the menu to the screen you want to be the main screen and it will be saved across sessions.
