I have an "MSi FX720 Laptop" and I am trying to enchance my resolution in backtrack5 r3. So far I can only get 1024x768 (4:3) and 800x600 (4:3) and it will not recognize my monitor. I am wanting the system to use my nvidia graphics. I have tried, time and time again, from different tutorials, and the end results become a "no screen" error when trying to log back into "startx" afterward. I am never able to recover from the error (as I am still learning) so I have to reinstall. I am running dual boot Backtrack 5 r3 alongside Windows 7 Professional.
GETTING FRUSTRATED!! PLEASE HELP!!!
This is a fresh install and I know I may have to update to the latest version, as I have done numerous times before, but
here is my system information:
