As I mentioned in the OP, I had already tried using the nvidia-settings GUI, though it
turns out I was doing it wrong. That was really the solution but for some reason I just
wasn't saving the configuration properly.
So get this: the "apply" button in nvidia-settings isn't to apply your
settings, it's to save them. THEN you can Save your xorg.conf. I found this out the
hard way when I tried saving it and noticed right away the xorg.conf it generated was for
a GTX 1060. I haven't used a GTX 1060 in my system in almost a year so this was a dead
giveaway that this was an older config. Second thing I noticed was that nvidia-settings
was saving to /etc/X11 when Arch based distributions like to save to /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d.
After I got this sorted out my settings finally applied next reboot.
So the solution all along was to just click an extra button and move one file, I feel
silly.

Is this a > known issue? Hi Bonkmaykr, IIRC the key to getting three monitors working
happily with TDE and NVidia was using T Menu / Settings / NVidia Xserver Settings / X
Server Display Configuration, setting things as desired, and then Save to X Configuration
File (and rebooting). This writes some complicated and in some places NVidia-specific
config to your xorg.conf. I suggest backing up your old xorg.conf first. As it happens my
T Menu / Trinity Control Center / Peripherals / Display / / Multiple Monitors and my T
Menu / System / Screen Size and Rotate / (maybe click on it in the panel if it went there)
/ Configure Displays / Resolution and Layout/ (... Administrator Mode) also know the
layout. I think they learned it from xorg.conf but it is possible I told them myself at
some point. --Mike
