Public bug reported:
Default fresh 13.04 install does not offer the nvidia drivers and
doesn't recognize my monitor: It thinks I am running a laptop and offers
me only the choice of either 800x600 or 1024x768 (yuk) 4:3 resolution
when I have a 16:9 monitor.
As soon as I install the nvidia drivers and reboot, bad things happen, I
see a brief flash of purple then it hangs with a black screen. I was
lucky to be able to get to the grub prompt and select the CLI where I
uninstalled everything nvidia and was able to at least get back to a
1024x768 GUI.
I was previously running 12.10 with an ATI HD5790 card which I had to
replace due to a bad fan. It was previously able to detect this card
and set my monitor to the correct resolution without any difficulty, and
offered me the chance to install the closed source drivers.
