I know this has been asked before, but I've tried nearly every solution I could find.
When I run Additional Drivers, it doesn't come up with anything. After installing my graphics cards drivers via sudo apt-get, the highest resolution I can attain is still 1024x768 (I want 1920x1080).
I have tried to edit xorg.conf to no avail, but I have a strong feeling I'm messing something up.
I do not know what is up with it. When it I ran lspci -v, this is what I got:
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation Device 11c0 (rev a1) (prog-if 00 [VGA controller])
Subsystem: eVga.com. Corp. Device 2660
Flags: bus master, fast devsel, latency 0, IRQ 16
Memory at f6000000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=16M]
Memory at e0000000 (64-bit, prefetchable) [size=128M]
Memory at e8000000 (64-bit, prefetchable) [size=32M]
I/O ports at e000 [size=128]
[virtual] Expansion ROM at f7000000 [disabled] [size=512K]
Capabilities: <access denied>
Kernel driver in use: nvidia
Kernel modules: nvidia_current, nvidia_current_updates, nouveau, nvidiafb
It says access has been denied regarding its capabilities. What does that mean? Is it even significant?
I'm new to Linux and just moved over from windows, and am still getting used to the new file types and use of the Terminal and what not. Thanks for any help given! (Sorry for being such a newbie!)
Link to the requested pastebin of the sudo lshw.
Okay, it's fixed now. At full resolution. After going through the terminal and downloading and updating I think x-swat, and then restarting, it fixed it. Thanks for the help and friendliness, guys.
sudo lshw
in a terminal and paste the results at the ubuntu pastebin: paste.ubuntu.com<access denied>
means the user you dont not have the permission to view it, runsudo lapci -v
to get the denied info; what does this give you?glxinfo | grep "OpenGL renderer string"
you may need to install glxinfo
