Kernel does not recognise monitor


I am running Zorin 12.4 kernel version 4.15.0-46-generic

Video card is GeForce GTX 1060 6GB

Somehow my screen resolution settings got messed up.

Output of xrandr:

xrandr: Failed to get size of gamma for output default
Screen 0: minimum 1024 x 768, current 1024 x 768, maximum 1024 x 768
default connected primary 1024x768+0+0 0mm x 0mm
1024x768 76.00*

If I boot into an earlier kernel version (4.15.0-30-generic) my screen resolution is perfect.

Output of xrandr:

Screen 0: minimum 320 x 200, current 1920 x 1080, maximum 16384 x 16384
DVI-D-1 connected primary 1920x1080+0+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 510mm x 287mm
1920x1080 60.00*+
1680x1050 59.88
1280x1024 75.02 60.02
1440x900 74.98 59.90
1280x720 60.00
1024x768 75.03 60.00
800x600 75.00 60.32
640x480 75.00 72.81 66.67 59.94
720x400 70.08
DP-1 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis)
DP-2 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis)
HDMI-1 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis)
DP-3 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis)

On reboot my system reverts to the later kernel version and does not recognise the monitor.

I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling the nvidia driver, no change.

mike@Zorin:~$ gtf 1920 1080 60

A solution to this problem would be greatly appreciated.

First solution that comes to mind: set that kernel where everything works as your default. What problem?

Your /var/log/Xorg.0.log shows
Quote:
[ 60.862] (EE) Failed to load module "nvidia" (module does not exist, 0)
Looks like a failed driver install, leading to
Quote:
[[ 60.984] (EE) Screen 0 deleted because of no matching config section.
