Changing resolution after install

[scoobydoo518]

Is it possible to change from 1024 x 768 to 1400x900 after installing 8.04? I cannot get install to use greater than 1024x768. If I install nVidia drivers(nVida 6800 card) can I then change to higher resolution?
Or am I outta luck?

Thanks

The nvidia drivers should give you access the range of resolutions that your card supports.

You might want to install nvidia-settings after enabling the nvidia driver.

In terminal type


sudo apt-get install nvidia-settings

And run with gksu, in terminal type


gksu nvidia-settings
