I upgraded my Dell Precision Workstation from 16.04 LTS to 18.04 LTS, it has an nVidia P4000 quadro GPU, was running the nVidia drivers
After the upgrade only one screen of the dual monitors was working, the resolution of the working monitor was very low.
once the login was done the screen started flashing on and off and is virtually unusable.
The old unity "display" icon is gone so I can't even try and adjust the resolution.
I really need to fix this, but it seems I have two choices, clean reinstall of 18.04 or recovery of the 16.04 system. The former may not fix the problem and the latter seems defeatist, is there anything that can be done quickly (i.e between flashes on and off to try and fix this before cutting an 18.04 USB?
