This is the first time it has ever worked, and I tried a *lot* of suggestions these last few months but each time Hardy refused to recognise the drive.

This solution worked first time. I am using GeFore 7600 with an AMD64 4200 dual core.

Many thanks!

Huzzah, thanks for this. worked like a charm. I too have the MX440 and was stuck at 800×600.

For anyone else that is struggling with this problem, another handy tip is that you can move any window around with the mouse if you hold the alt key and just drag it (very handy when the window doesn’t fit on the screen).

I’ve tried your solution but it does not work for me.
I have an Nvidia Geforce 4 mx440

when I run “sudo /usr/bin/nvidia-settings” it says

ERROR: the control display is undefined. please run `nvidia-settings –help` for usage information

I’m a beginner with linux!

Any idea?

Thank you!
