[SOLVED] Wrong resolution after installing nvidia driver

After I installed the recommended driver using Driver Manager the resolution is very low.

Any ideas how to fix it ?

the following article from "easy linux" should be able to help you in getting the proper driver necessary for your nvidia...it is written and kept up to date by "Pjotr" who is a regular contributor to this forum as well...these are the 2 different sections in his column i have found thus far...there may be more...the first one has remedies for "wrong resolutions"...DAMIEN

I am really confused. Which driver do I install for GeForce GTX 650 ?

Edit: Found it. Its nvidia-390.

this is the best i can come up with...i dont use nvidia myself but found this for you to look at and see if this fits what you got...this was back in sept 2012...there may be newer but not knowledgeable enough to go further...DAMIEN

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get purge nvidia* 

Code: Select all

 sudo add-apt-repository ppa:graphics-drivers/ppa 

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get install nvidia-390 

Then reboot.

Resolution is back to normal.
