Mess up my screen
I just installed the new Nvidia driver and my screen is f*cked up... It looks like the displayed desktop is bigger than my monitor is, so when I move the mouse the screen mouves whit it... and I can see the rest of the desktop... I allready try to get the resolution down but it's the same, and I reinstalld the older driver too but the problem steel the same... any help or tips will be much appreciated...!!!
Thx! |
It looks like the whole desktop would be zoomed in!!!!

hi pilatus666,
is there anyway you can post your /etc/X11/xorg.conf for us to see? It should be fairly simple to fix once you actually take a look at that file. Thanks! |
I managed to get my desktop back with the old driver (81.76) here is the xorg.conf before reinstalling the old driver: this is the xorg.conf (backup)

I also tryed to change the monitor model but no matter what model did I used it still looked like displaying 19' instead of 17'! Anyway here is the xorg.conf with the old driver, thats what I'm using now:
