Hi all, i tried updating the xorg.conf file and restarted my system but still i couldnt change the resolution. I am stuck on 800*600...infact when ubuntu gets loaded up there is a warning message that i m working on low graphic mode!!! On testing for the gfx card it gives a flash and shows the login screen.

i have nvidia 71000gpu onboard.....i did install the restricted driver for nvidia gfx card. But still could not change the resolution..

Help.
Thanks.

Have you tried searching the ubuntuforums.org for a solution on your specific Nvidia board?

Yeah....i tried almost everything that is told there....updating the xorg.conf file (which is the most useful method told thr)......also installed the restricted drivers for nvidia board and restarted the system....but still the problem is thr...

i was having problem installing linux with livecd so i used an alternate cd for that.....that time it showed message that the system is running on low graphic mode which i thought ll be rectified later on but dunno whats the problem....

if the xorg.conf file contents will help please tell me.....

thanks for concern....

I would go to the Nvidia website and download and intstall the specific driver for your video card.

Then I would check in both of the Ubuntu Starter User Guides for how to configure for Nvidia video cards:
Fiesty Fawn User Starter Guide and Gutsy Gibbon User Starter Guide.

You'll want to install the nvidia-settings-manager package.

The trick with it is that you have to run it as root in order for the settings and changes you make within it to go global across the whole system (and in effect, be saved and used when you login later).

sudo apt-get install nvidia-settings-manager && sudo nvidia-settings-manager

That should do it all in one fell swoop, bringing you to the control panel. Note that the && above is just a shortcut method of concatenating multiple commands together. Use only the text after the && in the future to access this control panel in the future.

Good Luck!
