Dear ubuntu team and users

I installed ubuntu 20.04 Desktop 64 system. I use DEll PRECISION T5400 workstation. After installation I have got very low resolution. I have tried :

  1. To change this, increase this resolution from Display options in Ubuntu but I found just one resolution 640 X 480. Nothing more!!!
  2. I followed the posts on net of similar problems but I got nothing instead I got more troubles some times.

Details:

02:00.0 VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation G86 [Quadro NVS 290] (rev a1)
    Subsystem: NVIDIA Corporation G86 [Quadro NVS 290]
    Kernel modules: nvidiafb, nouveau
03:00.0 PCI bridge: Intel Corporation 6311ESB/6321ESB PCI Express Upstream Port (rev 01)

Have you tried installing 3rd party drivers:

  1. Open "System Settings" -> "Additional drivers"
  2. Select "NVIDIA accelerated graphics driver (version current)" and click "Activate"
  3. Reboot

Have you tried to update your bios ?

Apparently, the bios of this model plays an important role in how the card will be recognized and operated, and therefore, on the functioning of the nvidia drivers. The graphics card being a G86 variant (similar to 8500GT).
