Upgraded: from 11.10 to 12.04 (32bit)
Laptop: Lenovo w520
Nvidia Driver version: 304.64
I just upgraded from 11.10 to 12.04 and I can no longer change my resolution. My laptop is a Lenovo w520, Nvidia X Server Settings reports 1920 x 1080 as the only option. Which is normally fine but doesn't work when I connect to a projector with lower resolution, as cloning only clones part of the screen to the projection and presentations look pretty messed up! :(
This used to work fine with 11.10 not sure what changed...
Tried a fix I found for a similar issues but it did not work. I used the nvidia X server-settings, saved configuration to X file to create an xorg.conf file. I then added the following line (Option "ModeValidation" "AllowNonEdidModes") to the devices section. This now makes many other resolutions available however none of them work properly. I end up with my desktop duplicated multiple times on the screen anytime I change resolution...
Please HELP! :)
(PS. I also posted this on http://askubuntu.com/questions/26559...on-1920-x-1080 but since I didn't get a response I thought I would try here... hope that is ok!)
