as eZFlow has correctly pointed out, the nvidia x server doesn't have the permissions, but you can overcome this from the term prompt using sudo nvidia-settings. What I cannot get around is the frontend and backend resolution detection. The frontend (monitor/display) gives a max resolution of 1440x900 however the backend (GPU) accurately shows max resolution of 1920x1200.
But I cannot change the frontend from nvidia x server. I did have 100% success when I dumped the 180.44 drivers in favor of the 176 drivers that comes with the distro package under adept. -- Dual display & resolution config required on each restart https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/362671 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
