Lost screen resolution after restart with ubuntu and nvidia

Posted on October 6th, 2008 by linux

I have been using my current kubuntu installation for many months already and I never had a problem with my nvidia driver settings except today. From no apparent reason I have started my linux box and my default and maximum resolution was 1024×768 instead my standard 1680×1050. I have tried reinstall envy packages, doing dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg and nothing helped.

Only what helped what that I manually configured xorg.conf file and changed from:

SubSection "Display"
Depth 24
EndSubSection

to:

SubSection "Display"
Depth 24
Modes "1680x1050"
EndSubSection

This solution is still mistery to me. May someone know the answer to this riddle please let me know.

System: Kubuntu Hardy, Nvidia 8800 Ultra
