Install Xorg and create nf configuration file Our post on Mining Pods using CentOS 7.4 with CUDA 9.1, covers the procedure for CentOS, and was tested with NVIDA FE GPU cards and some Zotac cards. The procedure was tested on Ubuntu 16.04.2 LTS with EVGA GTX 1050 Ti GPUs, on Ubuntu 16.04.3 LTS with EVGA and ASUS GTX 10 Ti GPUs. Unfortunately it appears that we cannot avoid installing and keeping running an Xorg server, just to change GPU settings and keep them that way. The following steps are needed to make this permanent, and without any display attached (a headless system.)

The following assumes you installed Ubuntu Server without desktop environment, you do not want to run a desktop manager, and you need a command prompt after reboot.
