And after logging in also the same screen size. How to raise screen size settings, I even dont have menu only comman line in this small resolution. I tried xrandr but no success.

Hello everyone,

I'm a new user of Fedora 18. I have a Acer Aspire 5750G.

I have a Dell XPS 15z laptop.

As you can see here, there are some issues with NVidia drivers.

I have Dell M1530 with GeForce 8600M GT. I have installed Ubuntu 12.04 and binary driver from nvidia-current-updates (version 304.88). I also use uvesafb framebuffer.

My native screen resolution is 1440x900 and it works perfectly fine. The problem is, I can not use other resolutions (i.e.

I tried to start my nvidia driver using nvidia-xconfig and now my screen resolution is stuck to 640x480. That is the only option displayed in System Settings -> Display. My default resolution was 1366x768.

Hi,

I am a new linux user and have just installed Debian 7 a week ago.

I'm running a duel-screen set-up and need the proprietary drivers because the standard ones won't drive the second screen at full resolution.

After updating to 3.5.019, downloading the latest linux headers and re-installing "nvidia-current-updates" to trigger a recompile xserver/gdm won't load at all.

Help appreciated.

On newly installed Ubuntu 11.10, I can't set screen resolution higher than 1024x768.
