    Unhappy [SOLVED] low resolution (640x480) nvidia-glx-new with 8600 GT

    Dear Colleagues,

    I need a help regarding the new driver nvidia-glx-new using it on Ubuntu 8.04 with GNOME. The activation of the package nvidia-glx-new running successful, but after I restart the PC. The highest screen resolution is 640x480x50Hz . And no other resolution is available in the system program "Monitor Resolution Settings".
    When I deactivate the package nvidia-glx-new, the I have 1248x800x60Hz, but the monitor could show also an highest resolution. The graphics card NVIDIA 8600GT can use much higher resolutions.
    Sorry for the amateur question, but I have no idea what to do.

    Thanks

    That did work for me, but my problem is my fonts look absolutely horrid. If I could fix them that would be great. Any ideas.

    What is weird is my monitor resolution was picked up automatically until one day I booted it up and saw that my resolution was at 640x480. Not even reinstalling fixed this. Weird...
