Okay, thanks for responses on this so far. I've just done a clean install of 8.10, plus updates as of 31-12-08.
Using driver 173 (selected through restricted drivers dialogue) creates identical problem of very low resolution indeed. The dialogue now offers, and recommends, driver version 177. This is definitely better and achieves a resolution of 1024x768. But that's the wrong aspect ratio for the monitor. The auto generated xorg.conf and the outputs suggested above are attached. Cheers. ** Attachment added: "auto.xorg.conf" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/20829256/auto.xorg.conf -- Hardware Drivers error for nvidia in hardy (2.6.24.19) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/251832 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
