I visited the NVIDIA website downloaded the NVIDIA NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-304.108.run drivers. I stopped my X server and terminated all OpenGL applications. I changed my run level to 3 so that it boot to VGA console and installed it. I successfully installed the driver, but after installing my resolution has changed to 640x480 and now I am stuck, and I can't access my sidebar.

I am a new user so I'll request a clear answer.

  • You can always scroll if the resolution is too low, go near a border and the screen will move in that direction, this way you can go to system settings and change your screen resolution, or install another driver.

I am not very sure what you are asking, but it seems you are not able to use your computer because of a change in resolution. So my answer is based on this. Press Ctrl + Alt + T to open terminal or alt + F2 and type terminal

This will open the terminal. There type

xrandr -s 0

If this doesn't work try

xrandr -s 1280x1024

If you just mean to ask how to change the resolution, press the super key ( window key) and type 'display' and click on the icon named display. There you can change the resolution.
