OK, I did a "sudo dpkg-reconfigure nvidia-common". Nothing visiual happened, and I cannot purge the the "nvidia-173-modaliases" for example. In the description of the package I cannot see a hint to a conflict.
Modaliases for the NVIDIA binary X.Org driver The modaliases provide a list of pci id's which makes it possible to detect the model of a graphic card. And there are not many installed files: /. /usr /usr/share /usr/share/jockey /usr/share/jockey/modaliases /usr/share/jockey/modaliases/nvidia-173 /usr/share/doc /usr/share/doc/nvidia-173-modaliases /usr/share/doc/nvidia-173-modaliases/copyright /usr/share/doc/nvidia-173-modaliases/changelog.Debian.gz I'm not an expert, but I think we are looking in the wrong direction. Is the opensource nvidia-driver able to display a resolution of 1920x1080? Perhaps we can try it and when the issue is gone we know there is a problem with the nvidia-driver. If the issue remains we have proved that the problem doesn't come with the nvidia-driver.
