NVIDIA drivers stretching out the desktop?
Desktop bigger then screen after nvidia drivers installedBlurry vertical sections using fglrx with Radeon hd 6970Trying to use 3 monitors with Intel integrated Graphics and Separate video CardSlight stuttering when moving windows in fresh 12.04 installUbuntu Nvidia Driver 310.14Beta Stretch OpenGL FeatureHybrid Graphics Nvidia and Onboard IntelViewSonic Monitor and Nvidia Graphics Card: OverscanHow do I get Ubuntu / Nvidia GeForce 8400GS to correctly recognize two identical monitors?Two monitors, two refresh ratesUbuntu 14.04 Low Resolution with DVI-D Monitor and Nvidia geforce 550 TiNvidia xserver settings reset to default on every boot in ubuntu 16.04
.everyoneloves__top-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__mid-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__bot-mid-leaderboard:empty{ margin-bottom:0;
}
I'm using Ubuntu 11.10. My video card is G Force GTX 560TI and it's connected to HDTV LG RZ37LZ55. When using the default Linux driver, everything looks fine on res 1360x768.
However, when I install Nvidia drivers, the desktop is stretch out to the point that I can't see or use the sidebar, nor can I see the top panel. Changing the resolution to higher or lower does not pan the screen correctly. It is always stretched out. I am a total newbie in Linux so most things I've tried ended in crashing the system, for example adding horizontal and vertical refresh rates to xorg.conf.
I can fit the screen using the Nvidia X settings but that makes the desktop all blurry. I'm using an older TV (conected via DVI) and I don't have the option to chagne the borderlines in the TV menu. Could anybody help me resolve this issue?

The easiest way is to run nvidia-settings
gksu nvidia-settings
Use twinview. If you are able to configure your resolution from there, save teh settings to xorg.conf, do NOT merge with the existing file.

Hi, thanks for the response. I'm afraid this won't be helpful as twinview is greyed out for me, thus I cannot select it. I'm not using a laptop conected to the TV, rather a PC and the TV working as a monitor. Is there eny other way to solve this issue? BTW I'm using a 64bit version of Ubuntu.

If nvidia-settings does not resolve the problem, you might be able to write a xorg.conf manually. xorg.conf is somewhat depreciated, and you can often skip most of it, and simply write a section for your display. You can post your xorg.conf and the technical specifications of your monitor (pastebin please) and I will try to review it.

Hi, this is my xorg.conf after installing the driver: pastebin.com/LrA43tr1 And this is the TV i'm using: onyougo.com/lg-rz-27lz55-rz-27lz55-lcd-tvs_pi748760 not many specs there but it's hard to find anything on it. Hope you find this helpful. Many thanks.
