Hardy fails to recognise monitor

[Smudger]

Just upgraded to 8.4 and it fails to recognise my monitor.

All I get is an "Out Of Range" message against a black background.

Anyone got any idea's what I can do to resolve this issue?

if so can you run


sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg


and then reboot

the other option is to install envyNG from the command line.

I think its something like


sudo apt-get install envyng-gtk

then run


envyng

which will install the lastest nvidia driver

I have this same problem.

I installed Ubuntu 7.10 3 weeks ago and everything has been running fine.

Upgraded to 8.04 and I got 'Out of sync' on my monitor and a black background.

After trying the dpkg-reconfigure and anvyng advices above it started working at 800x600 but nvidia-settings seems not to recognize my monitor.

I did the same upgrade on a laptop and it went ok.
