I turned my computer on this morning to discover that my screen resolution had changed. It normally runs at something reasonably high (1400-1600, or sometime like that), but it had now been reduced to 800x600 and didn't fill my monitor, leaving a large black border round the entire screen.
That is the only option I now have in System Settings > Displays.
I've tried running apt-get upgrade and update, and unity --reset.
I'm running the "NVIDIA accelerated graphics driver (current version)", which is the same one I've always been running. I tried switching to the post-release updates version, but that stopped X/Gnome from loading at all, and I had to switch back to the current release from the command line.
When I run xrandr, I get:
xrandr: Failed to get size of gamma for output default
Screen 0: minimum 800 x 600, current 800 x 600, maximum 800 x 600
default connected 800x600+0+0 0mm x 0mm
800x600 75.0*
Any ideas? Thanks.
