I have installed nvidia driver and when Configure X Server Settings is started, a message says "You do not appear to be using NVidia X driver. Please edit your X configuration file (just run nvidia-xconfig as root and restart the X server)

I have done that but I still can't get the monitor to display 1920x1080. What have I done wrong?

Thanks for help

what is result of:

Code: Select all

glxinfo | grep OpenGL

daisyb@linux-1i74:~> glxinfo | grep OpenGL

It was sorted out in the meantim, but purely by trial & error since I don't understand why XScreen kept coming up with TwinView., I only have one monitor (24"). I am trying to document the correct procedure & codes to use to install and run nvidia-xconfig so that for the future upgrades/installations, I have the steps in front of me.

Altho the XServer settings are configured, I still can't see the box where the username and space for typing in password. I just have to blindly type away, Is there any way of getting the proper logon screen displaying?

Thanks very much. Cheers

so the TwinView issue is resolved? By, in nvidia-config, changing X server display config -> configuration -> separate X screen ?

is this a new install or an upgrade? if upgrade did the login screen appear correctly earlier?

in systemsettings -> login screen -> general, you can change the screens appearance, might help

also reinstalling KDM may help

ps - probably should star a new thread for this, something like "Can't See KDM Login Dialog"
