Is there anyone that is curently having any sucess with the NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-256.53 drivers

Asked by Charles

I'm getting sick of it as I'm sure many others are, but my problem is that the NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-256.53.run driver works but i'm having problems with Screen resolution it wont save any settings even after gdm restart and i can't for the life of me get the Overscan Compensation settings to even appear in the GPU settings of the Monitor, the odd part of it all is that in the X Server Display Config i'm showing 1920x1080 (which is correct) but in X Screen, I'm showing the Dimensions at 2944x1080 so both top/bottom are completely off screen.

Anyone know of a solution?

Try:

sudo nvidia-xconfig

You can then run:

gksudo gedit /etc/X11/xor.conf

and change the resolution in the screen section.

The issue was the new drivers, had to go back to 195.36.24 to resolve the prob. everything works great now, Thanks for the help
