I don't know if anyone else had this problem, but here's a what I did to get nvidia-settings to load my config at login:
Most of us have seen the suggestion to use nvidia-settings --load-config-only & in some sort of login script so that our nvidia customizations are restored upon login. However my problem was that it didn't restore the overscan setting for my tvout (and of lesser importance the flicker filter setting as well). When i looked at the .nvidia-settings-rc, I noticed that the nvidia-settings app hadn't written the overscan or flicker filter setting to it. I don't know if this is a bug or if I just couldn't figure it out. I do know if I delete .nvidia-settings-rc, nvidia-settings recreates it next time it is run. So I manually edited the file--it's syntax is pretty intuitive. I just copied lines substituting TVOverScan and TVFlickerFilter and their respective values where appropriate. For me it ended up being 0/TVOverScan[TV-0]=190 0/TVFlickerFilter[TV-0]=135 I based the syntax upon other similar looking lines. So now it loads up the overscan setting when I login (remember you have to use the nvidia-settings --load-config-only & line in some sort of login script). One problem remained though: keeping nvidia settings from clobbering your nvidia-settings-rc file if you ever run it again. There is more than one way to go about this. I just decided to restrict the permissions on it. I went over-kill and set ownership to root:root, with 644 permisions, but leaving ownership alone and setting permissions to 444 would probably be sufficient. I just didn't want anything to set the permissions back. Anyway, hope this is helpful to someone.
