-- Hey to all

I am new to linux and i dont know much it. i installed ubuntu hardy on my
system it works fine but i am facing a problem. the issue is am unable
increase my resolution from 640x480.
I downloaded and enabled all the nvidia drivers available in the repository
but it didnt help. i also tried to installed envy-ng but it also dont work.
i have now downloaded the drivers from nvidia's website but i dont know wath
to do with it. its a .RUN file and a TAR archieve which is for
configuration.
i would be really glad if you guys could help me in simple easy steps.

Thanking you
Umer

, change your directory the untarred directory using
cd /path/to/directory/

hust run sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg
That should remake your xorg.conf file and should add all screen
resolutions that you can use. first you need to make sure you are using
the nvidia drivers as it might be as simple to use hardware drivers from
the system menu. I have attached my xorg.conf after using the above
command on this box using the 5200 card.
