I have dual booted Ubuntu 14.04 with my Windows 7 64b Home Prem.

Here are my specs:

  • AMD FX 6300 6 Core clocked at 3.5/6GHz
  • nVidia GeForce EVGA GTX 750ti 2GB w/ ACX Cooling
  • 1TB HDD (500GB partition for Ubuntu and Windows)
  • 8GB DDR3 RAM

What happens:

  • I am currently using my 26" 1080p HDTV on my Windows partition.
  • I tried to use Ubuntu (Resolution is very low and cannot go past 1024x786 or 1280x1024 resolution).
  • There's only 2 resolutions showing: 800x600 or 1024x786/1280x1024 (Forgot which one as I am on my Windows partition as I am writing this).

Figured it out.
Went to System Settings > Software and Updates, and set the option to change my GFX card to binary.
That allowed me to use the highest resolution available on my 26" HDTV woo.

The 3rd picture in the answer to this question helped me - that's where it was at :P

how to get an nvidia control panel?

I just set up my new system with a Nvidia chipset graphics card. I had to download the driver and install from command line to make it work. The install program didn't work from the GUI.
