My max resolution on Ubuntu is 1024x768... What do I do to get it higher.. VIDEO QUALITY SO FAR IS REALLY POOR.. it looks like everything is fuzzy. This is the order of stuff I done... Installed Windows XP Overclocked card in Windows Installed Ubuntu Do you think that me overclocking it in windows affects it at all..? Or does it only overclock when I boot up to Windows..? HALPMEH!! Posted by: The General You need to install the nvidia drivers, then stick the resolutions you want in your xorg.conf. All of that can be found on Google. Posted by: Deathawk [url]http://www.nvidia.com/object/linux_display_ia32_1.0-9746.html[/url] is the drivers for a 32bit system, right? Well, I downloaded that to my desktop, went into the terminal.. i did sudo -i and then I typed in root@deathawk-desktop:~# sh NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-9746-pkg1.run sh: Can't open NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-9746-pkg1.run I don't think I'm doing something right o.o Posted by: The General Don't use those drivers, the ones from nvidia break the TLS links and cause the installed drivers to only work with one kernel. The only solution is to reinstall. You need to install the ones from the Ubuntu repository. Look: [url]http://www.google.com/search?en&q=ubuntu+nvidia+drivers[/url] The sixth hit: [url]https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/Nvidia[/url] Posted by: Deathawk kickass, I'll try it out later. thanks a bunch :p Posted by: Deathawk Errmm.. how would I do this.. "then stick the resolutions you want in your xorg.conf." Also, how would I know if I installed the nVidia drivers.. =\ EDIT:: I found the xorg.conf and I put "1600x1024" infront of all of the resolutions... like 7 of them.. Anyway, when I went to save i got "Could not save the file /etc/X11/xorg.conf." Posted by: Greg What program are you using to edit your xorg.conf? sudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf -or- sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf Posted by: Deathawk uhh, i just went into the /etc/x11/xorg.conf and double clicked it to open it. I'll try both of those and see what happens. Posted by: Deathawk SCORE! It worked.. does that mean I installed the nVidia drivers correctly?

[/B][/QUOTE] Why? The terminal is so much easier. Highlight the command in Firefox, and middle click the terminal... :rolleyes: Posted by: Greg [QUOTE][i]Originally posted by Deathawk [/i] [B]SCORE! It worked.. does that mean I installed the nVidia drivers correctly? [/B][/QUOTE] If in the "Device" section of your xorg.conf it says [code]Driver "nvidia"[/code] rather than [code]Driver "nv"[/code] or anything else, then it means it worked. It also should display an Nvidia splash when X starts if they are installed properly. [QUOTE][i]Originally posted by The General [/i] [B]Why? The terminal is so much easier.

The terminal is so much easier. Highlight the command in Firefox, and middle click the terminal... :rolleyes: [/B][/QUOTE] I use Opera, and I never knew you could do that. I'm going to check if my nVidia stuff is installed, I'm not sure if it is. Posted by: Deathawk Section "Device" Identifier "NVIDIA Corporation NVIDIA Default Card" Driver "nvidia" EndSection Section "Screen" Identifier "Default Screen" Device "NVIDIA Corporation NVIDIA Default Card" Monitor "Generic Monitor" DefaultDepth 24 SubSection "Display" Does that look right? Posted by: Greg Yep, looks fine. That's the right driver. vBulletin Copyright ©2000 - 2003, Jelsoft Enterprises Limited. PPC Management vB Easy Archive Final - Created by Xenon |
