Hey guys just got my Elementary OS Freya install and I'm loving it but the only thing is making me mad is trying to save the refresh rate from my monitorASUS VG248QE. I already try the fallowing:

sudo nvidia-settings went there and saved to /etc/xorg.conf

gksudo nvidia-settings went there and saved to /etc/xorg.conf

I went to application /startup and added this command xrandr -r 144 to see if start with 144 hz

NOTHING WORKS everytime I reboot it brings me back to 60hz. Should I save the X config file to my /home folder ? or should I save it to xorg.conf.nvidia-xconfig-original ?

this is my xorg.conf in case you guys want to check it out (I did not edit anything its all default) just one thing note that the driver version on the xorg.conf ts showing 346.16 but on the nvidia settings its showing 340.58 could that be a problem?
