Nvidia problem

[robert leleu]

Mint15 64 MATE
I tried to install Nvidia driver in order to be able to connect an external screen to my notepad
and now there is only a 640x480 display. What shall I do to recover a nomal situation ?

here some information

Code: Select all

leleu@portable-leleu ~ $ inxi -Gx
Graphics:  Card-1: Intel 3rd Gen Core processor Graphics Controller bus-ID: 00:02.0 
           Card-2: NVIDIA GK107M [GeForce GT 650M / GTX 660M LE] bus-ID: 01:00.0 
           X.Org: 1.13.3 drivers: intel (unloaded: fbdev,vesa) Resolution: 640x480@59.9hz 
           GLX Renderer: Mesa DRI Intel Ivybridge Mobile GLX Version: 3.0 Mesa 9.2.0-devel Direct Rendering: Yes

But when I boot in recovery mode, I obtain a 800x600 display (with «screen preferences giving 2 choices 800x600 and 640x480)

the information changed (showing that a vesa driver has been loaded) to

leleu@portable-leleu ~ $ inxi -Gx

           GLX Renderer: Gallium 0.4 on llvmpipe (LLVM 3.2, 256 bits) GLX Version: 2.1 Mesa 9.2.0-devel Direct Rendering: Yes

The boot from installation CD shows a «normal» display in high resolution.

Is there a way to repair my present installation ?

Thanks

I did install Bumblebee following http://forums.linuxmint.com/viewtopic.php?f=49&t=135283

However nothing changed, een after editing bumblebee.conf

I «solved» by reinstalling the whole Mint15 !
