I use Ubuntu GNOME with Nvidia graphic card (two HDMI and one DVI output).
My monitor is connected through VGA - DVI adapter and work natively in 1920x1080.
Since I was unable to change my screen resolution, I spent enormous amount of time to play with
xrandrcommand as well as trying different graphic drivers.I've tried to provide resolution in
monitors.xmlas suggested here, but it seems that it doesn't help.
Finally, I get it - since Ubuntu didn't recognize my monitor, the only I needed was to edit
sudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf
and set Horizontal and Vertical refreshing rate.
After restart, I was able to finally change my monitor resolution in both - gnome-control-center as well as 'NVIDIA X Server Settings'. There was no error, so I thought that settings are saved properly.
However, after rebooting my system... I saw resolution 1024x768. I've tried to reinstall gnome-control-center, but it doesn't help - each time when I reboot, I need to manually go to 'Displays' and set resolution back.
I've tried to add xrandr commands to startup programs, but it seems that my screen misbehaves - I see black background.
This idea (to use xrandr as startup process) is also mentioned here, but it seems that it works only after booting Gnome - otherwise screen is stretched or misbehaves.
Is there any solution to save mentioned settings 'by hard' (is it a bug in Gnome?).
