having problems with Nvidia

[guyrobbie]

everything worked fine till i tried to connect my computer to the TV, i don't know why.
now it doesn'tgive me the option of more then 800X600 resolution. and it seems like it doesn't recognize my graphic card anymore.

i can't configure my screen options anymore it just says:

You do not appear to be using the NVIDIA X driver. Please edit your X configuration file (just run `nvidia-xconfig` as root), and restart the X server.

i'm a new user of Ubuntu, thanks for any help.

Can you post your xorg.conf and the contents of /X11 please -


cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf
ls -al /etc/X11/xo*

Well it looks ok - xorg.conf does anyway. I must say though I wasn't expecting to see quite as many xorg backups - indeed it was a bit of an omg moment :)

We're going to be backing up xorg and reinstalling nvidia, but before we do that we need to make it a bit easier to see what we're doing.

We'll make a folder and move all the old backups away for the time being.

We'll rename the first one - I want that one kept here


sudo cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf.failsafe /etc/X11/xorgbackup

Now make a directory and move the backups


sudo mkdir /etc/X11/temp
sudo mv /etc/X11/xorg.conf.* /etc/X11/temp/

Now run


ls -al /etc/X11/xor*

That should just give you xorg.conf and xorgbackup, rename xorgbackup and backup the existing xorg

sudo mv /etc/X11/xorgbackup /etc/X11/xorg.conf.old0801
sudo cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.0801

Close the terminal and open Hardware Drivers in the System Admin menu - disable your nvidia drivers and reboot.

It should start without the nvidia driver, return to HardwareDrivers and reinstall the driver for your card, you will need to reboot once more.

Now before you do anything else can you run this from a terminal and post it


cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf

Finally - when you are posting long lists like that please can you use code tags. IF you use the New Reply option then there is a button # - this is the code tool. Highlight the pasted output and click the tool.

If you use Quick Reply at the beginning of the list put
and at the very end of it put .

Thanks to your help now it is using Nvidia drivers but it is still doesn't go to more then 640X480 resolution.

Ok - what doesn;t to higer resolutions - screen or tv?

Have you been into nvidia-settings yet?


gksudo nvidia-settings

If it's the monitor - make and model

[guyrobbie]

it is my laptop screen,Acer 5520, when i go to nvidia setting i can't choose more then 640X480, and when i used that command line that you gave me it shows me some errors.

guyrobbie@ubuntu:~$

maybe it will help you understand.

[Elfy]

Did it open though, regardless of errors?

Can you open a terminal, run these and post output


lspci |grep VGA
cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log |grep EE

If either produce no results, run it without |grep etc.

[guyrobbie]

yes it open nvidia anyway but i couldn't change the resolution.

i'm not sure this is what you wanted, the first code is with the |grep and the others is with out.

As I was reading very fast your xorg.conf I saw that you had only 640x480 resolutions configured:
SubSection "Display"
Depth 24
Virtual 640 480
Modes "640x480@60"

modeline "640x480@60" 25.2 640 656 752 800 480 490 492 525 -vsync -hsync

etc.
I don't remember the command to get the modelines, but search this forum. The command was atleast in a thread that was something "How to get 1366x768 resolution" or something. Maybe you can find it with "modeline" search. After you find the modelines correct just remove the "virtual" sizes from config and add to "Modes" the resolutions you are going to use.
