The simple solution is that there are two places in which settings must be changed. The first is in Nvidia settings as root user - run: sudo nvidia-settings from terminal. Second, change the resolution settings under System-Preferences-Screen Resolution You may need to reboot between steps.
That second step is so basic it is often overlooked. No cutting and pasting xorg.conf, no dangerous dabbling in forbidden zones. Also, if Nvidia isn't activated, do that under System-Administration- Hardware Drivers -- nvidia-settings doesn't have permissions to write xorg.conf https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/200868 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
