Switched the nvidia display drivers to nouveau by the following commands. sudo nvidia-settings --uninstall sudo apt-get remove --purge nvidia* sudo apt-get remove --purge xserver-xorg-video-nv xserver-xorg-video-nouveau sudo apt-get install nvidia-common sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg-video-nouveau sudo apt-get install --reinstall libgl1-mesa-glx libgl1-mesa-dri xserver-xorg-core sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
Reboot. Now my monitor is displaying properly with resolution of 1024 X 768.
