Issue with Dual Monitors - Config Not Saving?

Hi All,

I have just installed Zorin Core 9, first experience with a Zorin release (Have ran Ubuntu on and off since early days and various other distro's) And I must say so far it is going well. Seems very fast on my PC.

The one issue I am having is that I cannot seem to set my main monitor easily. By default it keeps loading the smaller 16" monitor (VGA) as default with all the bars etc on. So I go into the nVidia X server config GUI and change my 27" HDMI monitor to be default, all the bars shift across and applications start opening on the main screen. So I press the save to X Configuration file and then quit. Log off and log on to test and everything is back to how it was a min ago.

I'm at a loss here, what can I do?! Does Zorin have some sort of setting that is overriding this?

Kind Regards,

Gav
