How do I set the correct monitor resolution with Nvidia drivers for a monitor that does not send EDID?
- by Torben Gundtofte-Bruun
I keep having trouble getting the correct monitor resolution - every time I reinstall, I happen to use a newer Ubuntu release and the old tricks I used to know no longer work. Instead of leaving a long trail of questions for every new release, I am looking for a more universal and timeless solution.
What's the correct way to set the correct monitor resolution with an Nvidia GPU for a screen that does not send EDID values?
Note: This is a "dummy" question -- with the help from the chat, I already found the answer, and I am now going to add my own answer to document a solution that is hopefully universal.
