Hello there.
Other than reading a few guides here and there and playing around with some applications today I'm absolutely new to Ubuntu. I started running Jaunty today, and everything works just fine; it's honestly a pleasure to work with this OS.
When I got to installing a graphics card driver however I couldn't seem to get it right. My card (nvidia 7900 GT) was compatible with 3 different drivers. One of them was recommended and I chose it but the resolution of the screen didn't go up to 1280x1024 which is the resolution my screen uses. I tried using EnvyNG but that just suggested the same 3 drivers.
I'm not entirely sure what to do about it. Is this something that can be fixed?
