Hi All,
Sorry, this is teething problems again, I installed the most up to date Nvidia drivers from the drivers section in the control centre and after that it seems to have changed my screen resolution to 640×480. Id prefer 1024×768 so this screen is almost unusable – can any one advise how I change it back?
by the way, it wont let me paste the results from inxi -zv7 as I just get a message saying “forbidden” when I select submit so there must be too many characters or something. It will however let me paste just the graphics section:
Graphics: Card: NVIDIA G73 [GeForce 7600 GS] bus-ID: 02:00.0 chip-ID: 10de:0392
Display Server: X.Org 1.19.2 driver: nvidia Resolution: 640×480@59.94hz
OpenGL: renderer: GeForce 7600 GS/PCIe/SSE2- This topic was modified 5 years, 3 months ago by MikeA.

In a root terminal
ddm-mx -p nvidiaYou probably need the nvidia-legacy-304xx-driver available in Debian stretch, not the latest in backports.
Philosophers have interpreted the world in many ways; the point is to change it.
antiX with runit - leaner and meaner.
Ah, that seems to have done the trick. I was hoping to have made the graphics a bit smoother (I have a live wallpaper in Opera and its just a little jerky) but its better than it was and at least the resolution is much better now – so thanks very much for the help!
this is an old machine anyway that I have put back into service more as an email/Internet and productivity machine more than anything so the graphics aren’t going to bother me.

Try inxi -Fxz instead of inxi -zv7
