[01:33] <ScottyK> greetings! I've got a test computer running 12.04, and with an 21 inch LCD monitor, the resolution is stuck at  1024x768
[01:34] <ScottyK> montor keeps being detected as a laptop
[01:35] <philipballew> ScottyK, what have you done so far?
[01:35] <ScottyK> installed the nvidia drivers (let additional drivers do it), and have all current packages
[01:36] <philipballew> ScottyK, was it like it without the nvidia drivers?
[01:36] <ScottyK> just rebooted, now unity isn't coming up at all, just the wallpaper and the mouse. humm..
[01:36] <ScottyK> philipballew - don't know, had nvidia from the beginning
[01:37] <ScottyK> only thing that changed was I had an old LCD 16 inch monitor connected
[01:37] <philipballew> how long have you been a Linux user?
[01:37] <ScottyK> 2 years. mostly run Kubuntu though.
[01:37] <ScottyK> wanted to give unity a try!
[01:38] <philipballew> I know you can edit the xorg file and such
[01:38] <ScottyK> that's what I'm wondering now. Maybe it's still has the old monitor settings!
[01:38] <ScottyK> xorg file, forgot about that one. thanks!!
[01:39] <philipballew> I know theres some gui app that does it
[01:39] <philipballew> ScottyK, try this
[01:39] <philipballew> just go to the cog in the top right and click that then system sessings. then see if you get get and change it there
[01:41] <ScottyK> philipballew tried that. Under the display it just gives me two options (1024x768) and (800x600), which now that I think about it were the settings of the old monitor
[01:41] <ScottyK> because it's a test computer, I think i'll just frag it and start over. No data loss anyway!
[01:41] <philipballew> hold on
[01:41] <philipballew> did you reset x yet?
[01:42] <ScottyK> philipballew - no
[01:42] <philipballew> did you reset the computer?
[01:42] <ScottyK> yes
[01:43] <philipballew> that would do it, id personally edit the xorg file for fun before i whipe it
[01:43] <philipballew> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Config/Resolution
[01:43] <ScottyK> ok - i'll try editing the xorg file, couldn't hurt!
[09:39] <s-fox> Hello.
[16:58] <s-fox> Goodbye.
