Kubuntu 10.04, Geforce 4, low resolution.

[schnelle]

I have installed Kubuntu Lucid on my friend's old desktop with Geforce 4 graphic card. After installing nvidia driver it gives me only 640x480 resolution and lower. How to force nvidia driver to show 1024x768? Probably I need to edit xorg.conf and it will force nvidia driver to use 1024x768, but I don't know how to do it right.

Please help.

Most likely you did not install it correctly. Since lucid ubuntu is basically incompatible with nvidia/ati installers in pure mode. For ati there is a buildpkg option, but for nvidia you have to use prepackaged drivers from a 3rd party when you don't want to break the system and want latest drivers. Did you use jockey to install it?

First thing I did after clean install is to install nvidia proprietary driver from hardrware drivers.

Well maybe just keep nouveau, the card is outdated anyway and nouveau has even kms.

Desktop effects are very important, thats why my friend whanted to try Kubuntu. Thats why I have to go with proprietary driver. They work very smooth but resolution is problem. I will try to edit xorg.conf somehow. I google a bit and found few "solutions"

You might run the `nvidia-settings` program under sudo

Make sure you have the correct driver for the card. NVIDIA produces a legacy driver for any card 5xxx and lower, and GeForce 4 may have been deprecated. Run the following and send us the output:

cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf | grep -i "Driver"

lsmod | grep -i nv

cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log
