Only one display resolution choice with fresh install of Linux Mint 19.2
by ImWolf from LinuxQuestions.org on (#4V0C7)
Just installed Mint 19.2 on my Dell Precision M6400 with nVidia Quadro FX3700 graphics.
As the title says, I have only one choice (1920 x 1200) resolution which is not for my eyes. Clicking on the drop down list in the "Display" settings box does nothing. There is also a "Detect Displays" button which also does nothing.
I'm in the process of D/L a driver package from nVidia, but the file name indicates it's the same driver I currently have installed.
Suggestions welcome....
Thanks,
Wolf
Update:
The file I D/L has a .Run extension.... being a newbie at this I simply double clicked the file. A text box of sorts came up where the file has been "loading" for about an hour now.... It's only loaded about 25%. Is this normal?
