NVIDIA X Server Display Configuration - I don't have any resolution! (Ubuntu 13.04)

I have some problems with configuring the resolution of my screen in Ubuntu 13.04. The data of my hardware:



Acer Aspire V3-531G



Intel B970 processor (2.3GHz dual core)



NVIDIA GeForce GT 630M



My laptop has Optimus technology, hence I use Bumblebee for the nvidia driver to work properly. Bumblebee is working well, I can tun the optirun command. I start the NVIDIA Settings panel with the command:



optirun nvidia-settings -c :8


I saw this method in an other post in this site (I don't understand, what does it mean, but after so many troubles with my nVIDIA-card, I'm happy that it works).



As the Control Panel opens, and I try to change the screen resolution, I'm unable to do it, because the monitor isn't detected. I don't have the "Display" panel, hence I don't have the possibility to change the resolution. Here I link the image:

Hope you can fix this error!



Sincerelly:
Michael

  • I found this extremely useful and almost feel your question is a duplicate of this post askubuntu.com/questions/61396/how-to-install-nvidia-drivers. Using the ubuntu-drivers devices command I was able to find the "proper" nvidia to use :)

After reading through askubuntu.com/questions/61396/how-to-install-nvidia-drivers I came across this useful command.



sudo ubuntu-drivers devices | grep recommended


This in fact will roll through the devices on your computer and suggest which drivers to install. I had the same issue as you and essentially installed the suggested driver and viola all was well again!
