9400 nvidia 1680x1050 resolution problem

Post by midnightgr »

I installed mint in my netbook.Everything works smoothly.But in my desktop pc i have the same problem as with every mint i tried to install in the past.I have lg222w monitor and 9400 geforce nvidia graphic card.My monitor works good at 1680x1050 but the higher resolution that i get via nvidia x server settings is 1360x768.This is after i installed 183 driver from system management.I really want to stick with mint and learn as much as i can, but i dont know how to fix this.

It says that my graphics driver does not support the necessary extensions to use this tool.And if i want to use the graphics driver vendor's tool instead.If i press no its gives me the stantard screen options window and the screen comes up as unknown.If i press yes the nvidia x server settings starts.

Try the latest nvidia drivers, there seems to be a change in nvidia-settings in them - not sure about the version - there is a post about it somewhere no older than, say, two days
