Can i save my nvidia settings and monitor setting in kubuntu 7.10 and then use them in 8.04?

Question

i am haveing troubles getting a decent screen resolution in kubuntu 8.04 but no problems with kubuntu 7.10. is there a way to save the settings from 7.10 and then use that on kubuntu 8.04 if so how can i do that.

i do have the driver install correct for kubuntu 8.04 but the best resolution i can only get is 800x600.

Answer 1

The only way is to edit your xorg.conf and explicitly tell it to use the resolution you want. I think I already gave you a relevant link in your other question.

Answer 2

I'm not too sure of the kubuntu system as I work with slackware but its worth a shot lol. If there is a file named xorg.config you could certainly copy it over to your new installation. This file holds all the display settings and driver configurations for different devices. If it is on that distro. it will be located in ect/x11/xorg

Hope this helps
