    This may help. The app is in Other. You have to enable it.

    Or use.

    gksu displayconfig-gtk

    try this way

    Code:
    sudo nano /etc/usplash.conf
    you will got something like that


    # Usplash configuration file
    # These parameters will only apply after running update-initramfs.

    add the required resolution

    # Usplash configuration file
    # These parameters will only apply after running update-initramfs.

    xres=1280
    yres=1024


    OR put the settings you want for x & y then reboot and type :


    Code:
    sudo dpkg-reconfigure usplash
    then check for the new settings -- System > Preferences > Screen Resolution and select the new one.

    That did not work too

    Is there a way that i can remove all drivers and just re-install the Nvidia driver again?

    You do not appear to be using the NVIDIA X driver. Please edit your X configuration file (just run `nvidia-xconfig` as root), and restart the X server.


    ed@ed-desktop:~$ nvidia-xconfig

    Using X configuration file: "/etc/X11/xorg.conf".

    using the first mouse device.


    WARNING: The CoreKeyboard device was not specified explicitly in the layout;
    using the first keyboard device.


    ERROR: Unable to write to directory '/etc/X11'.

    ed@ed-desktop:~$ sudo nvidia-xconfig

    Should not need to reinstall to sort this out.
