Hey, I finally made it.
Frrst, displayconfig-gtk dont works. It gives strange
grapic (example
when i set 1280x1024 it gives me 640x480 three times and
stripes -
i'll show you screenshot later)
Then i've rebooted with xfix option - IT WORKS! :D
Thanks, You're better than any forum.
Glad you got your low res issue fixed. In my experience "xfix" seems always to work; glad it did for you too. Enjoy Ubuntu.

Hi!
I'm using ubuntu 8.04
I dont know why but i cant get resolution higher
1280x1024. But i800x600
I have geforce 4 and in win xp i can get
nvidiawant only 1024x768
First, i tried all i found od the net:
- drivers installed by envyng
- drivers installed by System > Administration
Drivers
- drivers installed by .run file downloaded from
nvidia-xconfig"site
- manual changes in xorg.conf
- changing xorg.conf by "sudo
internet- nvidia-settings
The result is: 800x600, you cant imagine how ugly
not appearlooks in
this resolution.
i've noticed three werid things:
1. nvidia-settings always tells me "You do
fileto be using the
NVIDIA X driver. Please edit your X configuration
server. "(just run
`nvidia-xconfig` as root), and restart the X
beforeeven if i do "sudo nvidia-xconfig" just
driver in your xorg.conf file(have you actually looked) ornvidia-settings
Do you actually have "nvidia" as the video
is it just "nv".
server, In the
2. If i change lines in xorg.conf, for example
"800x600" to
"1024x768", save it, and restart x
matterfile xorg.conf will
be 1024x768 but i still cant change resolution
Where else are saved modes for graphic card?
3. X server always runs in safe graphic mode, no
the 4th item on the popup gui after it fully loads, ie.,what driversSo, have you tried booting in recovery mode selecting
are installed and what is in xorg.conf
So, what can i do?
xfix, letting xfix run to completion then reboot to see if
it indeed fix X. Or, perhaps, I missed where you tried that
in this thread. HTH.
BTW,setting up nvidia proprietary drivers in Hardy isa little flaky, IMHO, and probably worse in Intrepid from
what I see reading the list but is doable. I have an lg
22" lcd wide screen and BFG G71 [GeForce 7300GS] card
and was able to set it up in native resolution(1680X1050)
with some list help and a lot of tinkering on my own.
I've tried everything you listed and also
"displayconfig-gtk" which doesn't list my
specific monitor or nvidia card and caused a lot of low res
issues trying to use it even using the generic drivers. I
wouldn't use it again.
Something else I had to do to get a stable nativeresolution on my monitor is to add the subsection Display to
my xorg.conf in the Section "Screen" as shown
below:
Device"
Section "Screen"
Identifier "Default Screen"
Monitor "Configured Monitor"
Device "Configured Video
Defaultdepth 24want to use in "Virtual" and in "Modes"
SubSection "Display"
Depth 24
Virtual 1680 1050
Modes "1680x1050"
EndSubSection
EndSection
Just substitute the max display res or the one you
formatted as shown. This all covered on list recently. If
you don't have the above SubSection in your xorg.conf,
add it first and reboot to see if it fixes things for you.
If not leave it in place and reboot into recovery mode and
try "xfix". HTH.
