No clue why, but my computer crapped out after playing TF2, so I looked online. X.org couldn't find displays, so I did what a person said and they said reinstall the drivers for the GPU (GeForce 210). I uninstall them, reboot, and the GUI works as normal, but at 800x600 with no options to change. I install the drivers again (nvidia-340) and reboot. Now I'm back to square one.

Can someone help?

  • Ctrl+Alt+F1(F1 to F6) and then enter this command 'lspci -k | grep -EA2 'VGA|3D' ' What is the output?

  • What did this do? It showed my GPU and showed the kernel driver in use is "Nvidia".

  • This did nothing for me. It is literally telling me the same stuff that I said I already did (reinstall drivers).
