Linux Monitor Resolution and Positioning that Never Resets
In this video, I go over hard-coding resolution fixes in Linux. This will force monitors into resolutions and positions that you need so you never have to do calibration again!

xrandr = terminal - sudo apt-get install x11-xserver-utils
arandr = gui -sudo apt-get install arandr - depends on xrandr

/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-monitor.conf
