Resolution stuck at 640x480 after trying to install NVIDA drivers
After installation of new drivers, Ubuntu won't boot into graphics modeNvidia Drivers on Debian / Lenny (Stable) -> Installation successful -> Monitors gets blackX (on Mint Debian, GeForce2 Integrated) is unstable after installing legacy nVidia driversHow do I get my Nvidia monitor position settings (in Linux) to persist after a restart?Python 2.7 and Ubuntu 10.10: X11 failsNvidia X setting doesn't save dual monitor settingsinvert screen permanently in arch linuxNVidia won't work for Lenovo T540p, Debian JessieNvidia Graphics Driver for system with Dual GPU, GTX670MX and Intel Onchip Graphics Installation for Linux Mint (aka: Hybrid Graphics)Ubuntu 18.10 in emergency mode after installing Nvidia drivers
The fans on my Clevo W230ST haven't stopped blowing since I installed Mint. I thought the video card drivers might be at fault so I tried:
sudo apt-get install nvidia-current
sudo nvidia-xconfig
On restart, the resolution was set to 640x480 and I haven't been able to figure out how to change it back. The display settings don't have any any other selectable options and nothing else I've done (purging/reinstalling nvidia programs, deleting xorg.conf, changing the refresh rate in xorg.conf, and re-installing xserver-xorg.
I don't think drivers are actually installed. Driver Manager says there aren't any proprietary drivers and nvidia-settings tells me to "run nvidia-xconfig as root" even after I've just done so.

please paste here what lspci says about the graphics
you may need to update pciids - sudo update-pciids before.
usually the problem appears if nvidia kernel driver is not compiled for some reason.
you can check it by running modprobe nvidia or modprobe nvidia-current
and see if is loaded with lsmod or not.
also could be that nvidia-current doesn't support your graphics card.
there are nvidia-legacy-* packages for cards not supported by nvidia-current package.
