I'm trying to set my KDE Neon 5.27's coolbits to 8 in order to gain manual fan control access using Green With Envy. Otherwise my laptop's fans are constantly firing loud even at stupidly low temperatures.
I didn't find any xorg.conf file in /etc/X11 and I'm too much of a noob to make one myself, so I ran sudo nvidia-xconfig --cool-bits=8 as I saw recommended in a few forums, which did create the file with the right setting, to my knowledge.
So I rebooted, and was greeted with a black screen with _.
I could press enter and login from there, but no GUI. I tried startx, which did output a few lines, until it just went back to a black screen with _ as above, and I logged in again.
Rebooting didn't do any better, so I assumed my xorg.conf file went wrong and rmd it. Then rebooting gave me back my GUI, but still no access to my fan speeds, using Green With Envy.
