Screen Resolution 8.04 KDE 4 Beta

[Guest]

I downloaded 8.04 KDE4 Beta but after installation the only options in System Settings -> Display for screen resolution are 800x600 and 640 x480. How do I fix this?

Start by posting your graphics chip.

If you're not sure about it, open the Konsole and enter

OK. Well, the 7950 is famous for difficulty with Linux drivers, so :P

Probably your best shot is to download the Envy script installer from here:

http://albertomilone.com/nvidia_scripts1.html

You want the download on the lower RIGHT of his OS table, since you have installed Hardy Heron. When it is downloaded, right-click the file and install it. It will put an icon in your KMenu>System folder. You can click that icon to start it, or in a Konsole enter

sudo envy -t

to run it in text mode. It will (hopefully) install the Nvidia proprietary driver. Follow the on-screen prompts.
