Ubuntu 12.04.1 LTS and Nvidia dirver (304.51) 64bit: problem 640x480
- by nibianaswen
I have a problem with this configuration:
Asus K55V, Ubuntu 12.04 LTS and Nvidia driver 304.51.
I have remove the nouveau driver with:
apt-get --purge remove xserver-xorg-video-nouveau
I installed the official nvidia driver (from www.nvidia.com) but when I reboot the PC the resolution of screen is only 640x480 and the monitor is resized.
Mo solution at this problem if i change the xorg.conf.
Now i have uninstall the nvidia driver and reinstall with
sudo apt-get purge nvidia-current
sudo apt-add-repository ppa:ubuntu-x-swat/x-updates
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install nvidia-current
When I reboot the screen resolution and size is OK, but if I start nvidia-setting I received the message:
You do not appear to be using the NVIDIA X driver.
and with command:
sudo lshw -c display | grep driver
I received
configuration: driver=i915 latency=0
This sound like the system is using the Intel card. When I launch command lspci | grep
VGA the output is:
00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Ivy Bridge Graphics Controller (rev 09)
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation Device 1058 (rev ff)
And there is no /etc/X11/xorg.conf. I have read a lot of guides on internet but without success.. How i can use nvidia card with the driver that i have installed?
