I just freshly installed Ubuntu 14.04 and did only 4 things:
1)
$ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:xorg-edgers/ppa
$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt-get install nvidia-340
2)
sudo apt-get install nvidia-current-updates nvidia-settings-updates
3) Went to Software & Updates/Additional drivers and chosen
Using NVIDIA binary driver - version 340.32 from nvidia-340 (open source)
I had to do part 3 because after part 1 I had driver version 304
Now to the main part. I cant set up custom resolution. When I had Ubuntu 12.04 year ago there was option in Nvidia x server setting called "Add custom resolution" or something like that and it was alright. Now this option is gone. How can I change/add custom resolution?
