Hey everyone, I just upgraded to 8.10 and my 24" screen is running at 800x600 resolution. I have a Nvidia Graphics card, but I'm not sure which one and I really do not want to open up my computer unless 1000% neccessary, so could someone help me?
[SOLVED] 8.10 Screen resolution
Archived thread 1000130 from General Help. Markdown source: General_Help/thread_1000130_[SOLVED]_8.10_Screen_resolution.md
have u tried going to
system>preferences>screen resolution and changing the resolution from there?
Yes
- Install nvidia-settings:
sudo apt-get install nvidia-settings- Run it
sudo nvidia-settings- Go to the X Server Display Configuration, you should be able to set you appropriate resolution there. Once it's configured, click "Save to X configuration file" which will generate a valid xorg.conf file.
You do not appear to be using the NVIDIA X driver. Please edit your X configuration file (just run
nvidia-xconfigas root), and restart the X server.
thats the error message I got
You should be able to go to System>Administration>Hardware Drivers and select the NVIDIA driver that it recommends. Click the activate driver button at the bottom, after it finishes installing it will tell you that it requires a reboot. Reboot, then go to System>Preferences>Screen Resolution and set it. All done
Thanks!
