Re: nVidia card not showing monitor native rezolution
Would you post some additional information.
1. Use this command in the Terminal: xrandr
2. What is the brand and model number of the monitor and how is it connected, including any adapter.
3. Use this command to open the “Xorg.0.log” file:
That command is for Mint Cinnamon and Xfce. If using MATE, change gedit to pluma.
Press Ctrl+A to select the entire file contents. Right click on the screen and select “Copy”. Don't save it to a file. Open the Mint Forum reply window and select
“Code” in the menu. Paste the copied lines between the two code words.
If you have problems posting that long file, then upload it to pastebin.com by using this command:
Post the URL link that displays in the Terminal window.

Re: nVidia card not showing monitor native rezolution
What Linux distribution are you using? You didn't post all of the information from using the command inxi -Fxz, as requested by Pjotr. This line is from the log file:
[ 28.897] Current Operating System: Linux romi-PC
This warning line shows the Nvidia driver is unable to read the monitor's EDID data. A monitor connected through it's VGA connector is called a CRT:
[ 36.246] (WW) NVIDIA(0): Unable to read EDID for display device CRT-1
After doing a search for the monitor's specifications, it shows DVI-D and VGA connectors. If you use a DVI to DVI connection, then the monitor's EDID may be read correctly.
Otherwise a custom xorg.conf file will need to be created. I'll give the instructions after you reply.

First rename the monitors.xml file in /home/your-user-name/.config (a hidden folder), to monitors.xml.old or the settings in that config file
may conflict with an xorg.conf file settings. Then create an xorg.conf file by using this command in the Terminal:
In the opened empty file, add these lines:
Reboot. If there is a startup problem and you can't get to the desktop, then at the GRUB boot menu select Recovery Mode. If no menu shows, then hold down the
Shift key while starting, or keep tapping the key. In the menu, select “root - drop to root shell prompt”. When asked for the root password, just type your user password.
Then change the file permissions to read and write by typing:
Then type this command to remove the xorg.conf file:
Then type: reboot
You'll go back to the Recovery Mode menu. Don't click anything, just wait about 7 seconds for the reboot.
