Screen Resolution and Graphics Card problem(Compiz 3D Desktop not enabled)

Asked by Krish

Hi!
I'm using Ubuntu 7.10. Just i had assembled my PC. I'm having Samsung 19" TFT Wide Screen Model No: SyncMaster 932 NW and the graphics card is "nVidia Corporation G72 [GeForce 7300 LE]" 256 MB. My Monitor always displaying a alert msg that recommended is 1440*990. but Ubuntu taken it automatically the resolution as 1680*1050 @ 60Hz also it chose graphics card as nVidia Riva 128, RIVA TND,GeForce.

Previously i installed nVidea settings thro online but i lost xwindows. so i changed it as "nv" instead of " nVidia Corporation G72 [GeForce 7300 LE]" in "etc/X11/xorg.conf" in Terminal (root) mode..

now I am not able to use extra effects of 3D desktop. Pls anybody help me to solve this problem

Hello Krish..
you can manually reconfigure your X server with the command:

dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg

And if you do not want to answer all the questions but only those which are rated with high priority:

dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg

and to have the 3D Desktop enabled (like the Cube)in ubuntu gutsy you should have compizconfig-settings-manager

To do that:

From Desktop, go to Applications->Add/Remove..., search for 'compiz' and then install the CompizConfig utilities.

If you are fond of commands,
Then type

sudo apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager

in a terminal, then
To customize Compiz effects, just go to System->Preference, and select Advance Desktop Effects Settings.

From here, you can add and remove compiz effects according to your needs..

Hope it helps,

Bhavani Shankar.
