I am running a dual boot system mint/windows xp and have a 22" widescreen monitor,
With a fresh install of mint i had no issues, did the usual update everything, enable the restricted drivers and performed a restart.
After that all i get is a message from my monitor giving me an "Out of Range" error,
Resolution that works for me in windows is 1680 x 1050 x 60hz and my chipset is an nvidia 7600GS
Ive tried to add in the resolution in the /etc/X11/xorg.conf file but not really sure what im looking at there
Code: Select all
