Nvidia problems again [Solved]

[Wal]

After making a snapshot of my system and then making a live-usb-stick and trying to make a dual boot with win 10 I have run into a couple of problems but to start with, allthough a Nvidia 1060 card and after installing the drivers 3 times there is still no Nvidia settings and resolution is max 800 x 600.

Im obviously getting old because I cant figure it out.

I solved myself, just uninstalled everything nvidia.

... installing the drivers 3 times ... resolution is max 800 x 600...

Generally xorg.conf file causes issues, so, (in case you re-try) next time:

Code: Select all

sudo rm /etc/X11/xorg.conf

Reboot.
