I had a very similar problem - fixed it the other day actually! See - http://www.munkyjunky.com/2010/01/ubuntu-9-10-nvidia-resolution-fix/
Basically, what I did was as follows: 1. Backup your xorg.conf file, using the following command – *sudo* *cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.backup* 2. Delete the current xorg.conf – *sudo rm /etc/X11/xorg.conf* 3. Create a new xorg.conf file – *sudo* *nvidia-xconfig* 4. Restart X, by logging out, then logging back in. The resolution won’t be fixed *yet* though. 5. Open up the Nvidia-settings – *gksudo nvidia-settings* 6. Make the changes to set your resolution to its correct settings , hit ‘Apply’, and then ‘Save to X configuration file’. Works perfectly for me, hope it helps you too! 2010/1/26 keith <ke...@grumpyface.me.uk> > Darren, > > Thanks for the tip. > > Unfortunately, however, it caused the resolution to revert to 800x600 > permanently whereas the boot sequence had formerly been 1920x1080 initially. > I also struggled to get the Nvidia config screen back! > > Keith. > > > --- > Keith Bowerman, > Prestwood, south Staffs, England. > > -- > ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com > https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk > https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeam/ > Cheers, -- Simon Wears http://MunkyJunky.com MunkyJunky on irc.freenode.net
