How to copy custom Xorg.conf settings automatically on each boot

My issue is with an external graphics card that I sometimes use. When it is plugged in, LXDE changes the DPI settings and text/other items becomes unreadable.
The solution is copying this line into each of the "Screen" sections in "/etc/X11/xorg.conf""Option "DPI" "96 x 96"
However, the issue is that when I disconnect/reconnect the external graphics card, the settings are reset to their defaults and I have to manually enter these settings again and reboot.
What I would like to do is make sure that my custom xorg.conf file is copied over early-on in the loading of the LXDE environment, this way the settings are permanently saved. (Or otherwise make the changes to xorg.conf permanent.)

Found Solution: I needed to create this directory: /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d Then place a file called xorg.conf within containing the sections I am modifying, in my case the the file contained these settings to fix the DPI: Section "Screen" Identifier "intel" Device "intel" Option "DPI" "96 x 96" EndSection Section "Screen" Identifier "nvidia" Device "nvidia" Option "AllowEmptyInitialConfiguration" "on" Option "IgnoreDisplayDevices" "CRT" Option "DPI" "96 x 96" EndSection

Section "Screen"
Identifier "intel"

Section "Screen"
Identifier "nvidia"
Device "nvidia"
Option "AllowEmptyInitialConfiguration" "on"
Option "IgnoreDisplayDevices" "CRT"
Option "DPI" "96 x 96"
EndSection
Each time XServer is loaded, it will first generate the default Xorg.conf file, then it will load any changes from xorg.conf.d/*.conf files. Finally the service will start.
I was losing my settings made to xorg.conf because I had to place my modified xorg.conf file in /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/
