My screen resolution has gone to hell overnight!
I went to bed last night and all was well, I turn my computer on again this afternoon and the resolution is 1024x768 when it should be 1280x1024, AND I cannot change it back! The original resolution setting is gone!! :banghead:
To top it off, the screen is jumping. Every few seconds the screen jumps. :confused: What the heck is going on? Linux Mint 14, using gnome desktop. |
well did you install updates ?
if so are you using a proprietary AMD/ATI or Nvidia driver ? if so then reinstall the ati .bin or nvidia .run basically what changed from one day to the next |
Good news, maybe
Solved problem, but not sure what did it or if it's permanent.
I added an old xconf.xorg file, because there wasn't one. I then restarted the computer but nothing happened. I installed nvidia-current and nvidia-settings. I them logged out of x using ctrl+alt+f1 logged in as root and ran Code:
nvidia-xconfig Should I remove the file I added to /etc/x11 and start over again or leave well enough alone? Right now the resolution and refresh are what they should be and my screen is no longer jumping, but I have no idea why it happened in the first place. I have not updated anything recently. |

Nothing, as far as I know, has changed for my system since yesterday. I haven't been asked to update anything in quite sometime. Although now, after installing the nvidia-settings and nvidia-current, I have updates waiting. Where is nvidia .run and how would I reinstall it? |
