I have two monitors. The master one (17") is 1yo, and the secondary (15") is really old, like 4yo.
This old screen is having problems displaying colors... They are a little bit darker, what is a problem when I'm viewing pics.

I have a GeForce 9800, so I changed some settings inside nvidia-settings, that fit better with this second screen.
But those settings just are applied when I first open nvidia-settings. First time I configured this, it worked. I turned off computer, next day turned it on, and screen is dark again. As soon as I open nvidia-settings again, the screens get lighter again!

How can I make those settings permanent and loaded at startup?

It looks like you can run nvidia-settings on the command line, like so:

nvidia-settings --config=~/.nvidia-settings --load-config-only

Try and get this working on the command line. Once it is ready, you can just add this to run at boot. Check the answers juanjux and I gave to this question on how to add a script to run at boot.

Note, this will enable the script to run at boot, and not just when the GDM/KDE graphical environment starts up.

I think your answer do exactly what I need. But somehow when I run this command it throws me thousands of errors, all about 'anything could be assigned (no display connection)'. But if I simply open the program, it works ='( – Igoru Aug 21 '09 at 1:32

It looks like this http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=607875 should answer your question although the answer seems to depend on which of the ubuntu variants your running.
