If anybody had a bit of knowlege about this, i was wondering how display configuration works, when i changed it in GUI it would reset after a reboot. i fixed it by adding an xrandr command under "DisplayCommand=" in the /etc/sddm.conf file.
so...
-from what i can tell sddm.conf controls display config on reboot
-But I also need to change it in "display settings" using GUI or else when "screen energy saving" kicks in it reverts to whatever the GUI "display settings" is set to and not sddm.conf
Question 1
What settings/file am i changing with the GUI and how do i do it via terminal
Question 2
is there a single file i can modify or command i can use to change display config globally
