[TAILS] Nvidia video drivers - Small screen resolution
Hello everyone!
I recently built my own computer and tried to use tails like I had done in the past on my laptop; however, this time, I have an HDMI port on both my motherboard and my graphics card; obviously, since I can't seem to be able to activate both at the same time (motherboard: Asrock B85 Pro4), I'm trying to make Tails work with my Nvidia GTX 750 Ti (from Zotac) card, since it's the one I use on windows for gaming, and I would rather not have to open my Motherboard settings evety time I want to use tails. Basically, my problem is the following: when I use my motherboard, Tails will recognize my screen's 1920x1080 resolution, but when I try to use my graphics card, it will keep me at 1027x768. It seems safe to say it would be a driver problem. I did try to install the display drivers from Nvidia, however I have two problems: first, I'm not sure if they'll ask me to restart the computer (in which case it's useless, since Tails is amnesiac); the other problem is that when I stop gdm3 to try to install, I simply do not know the login of the terminal (I tried "amnesia" and "root" with the password I set, but neither work)... So, all-in-all, my question is this: can I use Tails with my graphics card's HDMI port, and if I can, how do I achieve this? Thanks in advance, -Gankachi |

Press ctrl+alt+F1 to get to a console. Login in as root (see next quote and comment) and run nvidia-xconfig to configure and write a new xorg config file. When configuration is done, logout of the root session by typing "exit" (without quotes) and press enter. Then, either press ctrl+alt+F7 to get back to your GUI session, or type "startx" and press enter. If you use the ctrl+alt+F7 option, you may need to logout then login again for the changes to xorg to take effect in you GUI session. Quote:
