Resolution Stuck at 640x480
I am running Kubuntu (not sure which 18.xx) and I have a problem where I can't change the resolution.
I have a 550ti (I know, old) connected to my monitor through mini-hdmi>hdmi>DVI 24+1. When I connect it instead by doing DVI 24+5>VGA it goes to something like 1280x1050, but I still can't change it (my VGA input on my monitor is messed up so I prefer to use the hdmi-DVI route).
This all started when I installed NVIDIA drivers for use with hashcat. After restarting, the problems occurred.
I tried force-changing it with xrandr but it throws errors like failed to set gamma and configure crtc 0 failed.
I also did a fresh install of Kubuntu while keeping my home directory, but the problem still remains.
I believe I read somewhere that there was a way to actually force change the resolution using a file, but that's all I know so maybe you could help me with that?
Thanks in advance.
Edit
I was already considering buying a new graphics card (probably a 1050ti) and/or a new monitor, would this help my situation at all or would I have the same problems? My current monitor is an HP w2007.
