What you should do...
You really should post back with more information, particularly about which distribution you are using and whether you installed the Nvidia driver from the distro's repositories or from the Nvidia installer. You will most likely have to edit your "xorg.conf" file, but the details are not the same for every linux. Read Chapter 6 and 7 from the Nvidia README as a guide. http://us.download.nvidia.com/XFree8...hapter-06.html http://www.linuxquestions.org/linux/...Ask_a_Question |

More detail...
Did you install from the Ubuntu repositories? You can't have just installed the driver if you downloaded it from Nvidia. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Bi...erHowto/Nvidia |
I had the same problem for the longest time except my max resolution was 640x400. My computer could not properly detect my monitor to set it up properly. I had to manually enter the specs in the xorg file.
Code:
Section "Monitor" hope this fixes your problem |

In reference to the OP, you want to hit CTRL+ALT+F1 to get a terminal. Login and Stop the X server with: /sbin/init 3. Enter X -configure, and follow the on screen instructions. Test ~/xorg.conf.new. If you see an x, and you can move it around using the mouse, the new file works. In the Monitor section of xorg.conf.new type:
Option HorizSync 52.6-82.2 Option VertRefresh 48.0-75.0 Copy ~/xorg.conf.new to /etc/X11/xorg.conf. If there is an existing /etc/X11/xorg.conf, move it to /etc/X11/org.conf.bak, before you copy the new file to it. Restart X with: /sbin/init 5. Now you should have more choice of possible screen resolutions. |
