It seems nvidia-settings are getting wiped away (or are never really saving anywhere) upon reboot. There are several other questions like this but none of the solutions have worked for me.
I have tried:
sudo nvidia-settings. save apply settings and save xorg config. I created a git repo inside /etc/X11.
Every time I open nvidia-settings after reboot, "jean" monitor is set to primary. If i swap it back to benq and save it, the monitor is just changed between benq and jean. IE, if jean was there, it makes it benq, if benq was there, it meakes it jean. See http://pastebin.com/cgdaL3iT.
Without opening nvidia-settings, i've commited both changes, and checked out both before rebooting, verified no changes were made after rebooting to /etc/X11, and still, jeanq is always the primary monitor upon startup.
~/.config/monitors.xml was changed to make benq the primary monitor. This hasn't changed either upon reboots. Doesn't make a difference. config is found here http://pastebin.com/ivjYQc7u
Another solution was to comment out the first few lines in here /etc/init/gpu-manager.conf which I also tried, doesn't make a difference.
ubuntu 15.04 ii nvidia-settings 346.59-0ubuntu1 driver: nvidia binary driver version 346.59 from nvidia-346 (proprietary,tested)
hackey solution:
An interesting point to note, if i run this from .profile, it gets overridden. I had to add it into a script, do a sleep before it, and background it in ~/.profile as whatever executes after ~/.profile is overwriting this xrandr --output HDMI-0 --primary
