Out Of Range on Nvidia

http://www.ubuntux.org – Hi there. I am new to Ubuntu since about 5 hours ago, and I have a problem using my Nvidia AGP graphics card. The glowing ubuntu logo shows up but after that my monitor displays a message saying "Out of range 59Hz". My monitors optimal is 60Hz @ 1680 x 1050. This setup works fine on my on-board graphics but not on my Nvidia 7600. Unfortunately I have no clue as how to install Nvidia drivers and all the solutions I have seen are way too complex and I just don't understand them. I will try to take in as much as I can. Thank you. (Distributions)

Stories similar to Out Of Range on Nvidia

I upgraded all packages with sudo apt-get upgrade command on my Ubuntu 10.04 box and I have Ubuntu 12.04 3.2.0-29-generic-pae now. I have two monitors and the following GPU:

01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation GT218 [NVS 300] (rev a2)

After upgrading to 12.04, I somehow lost my previous setup with one common workspace stretched across two monitors.

Graphics Card: NVidia 460 GTX.

Driver: NVIDIA accelerated graphics driver (version current)

I have one DVI monitor, an old Dell LCD from 2005, and one VGA monitor, an Asus ML238H from 2010 whose HDMI port broke. The Asus is plugged into my graphics card's primary monitor slot and is the better monitor even though it is VGA but my computer defaults to the Dell.

I have an ASUS g51vx which has a NVIDIA GEFORCE GTX 260M CUDA 1gb graphics card. I have installed ubuntu 9.10 32bit using VMware player running from windows vista 64 bit.

On April 10, Canonical published in a security notice details about an NVIDIA graphics drivers vulnerability for its Ubuntu 12.10 and Ubuntu 12.04 LTS operating systems.

According to Canonical, NVIDIA graphics drivers could be made to run programs as an administrator.

It was discovered that the NVIDIA graphics drivers incorrectly handled large ARGB cursors.

2 machines; one laptop with Intel graphics, one desktop with nvidia graphics.

Live cd boots fine in the laptop but displays weird graphical glitches when attempting to boot with nvidia machine.

Conclude that there must be a problem with nvidia graphics right now.

Tried nomodeset but only gets as far as login screen then freezes in low graphics mode.

Have had problems with every new ite

I currently have a intel GMA4500X and games run at a blazing 10FPS (TORCS) so i got a nvidia GT 240. No drivers (the nvidia site lied!) so i got a GTS 250 which I KNEW had drivers. it doesn't fit. I am looking for a gfx card WITH drivers that isn't bigger than the GT 240. ATI or nVidia is fine.

I need to by a new graphics card, and naturally will be running ubuntu, i want to setup 4 monitors and enjoy steam, also i want a single graphics card. the way i see it i have the option for ati eyefinity and nvidia surround, which one has the best multi monitor support and easy to work on ubuntu?

I just installed Ubuntu for the first time, downloaded 11.04 and updated to 11.10. I have a setup with a NVidia 7600GT Graphics Card, with DVI-Out and VGA-Out.

My laptop has both an onboard Intel graphics card and a nVidia GeForce with Cuda and Optimus. I installed Bumblebee and can now run applications on the nVidia card by typing optirun [application name] in terminal.
