Hello, I come to ask for help because I have a problem with the resolution of my screen. I downloaded EndeavorOS yesterday and had a wide number of resolutions to choose from, but today I turned on my computer and I have 640x480 and I looked at xrandr and it detected the None-1 monitor (although Screen0 also appeared). I have tried adding resolutions with the same xrandr but nothing changes.
My graphics card is one from Nvidia, specifically a Zotac GeForce 9500 GT. I would like to know if someone could help me
Extra:xrandr
Screen 0: minimum 320 x 200, current 640 x 480, maximum 4096 x 4096
None-1 connected primary 640x480+0+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 0mm x 0mm
640x480 60.00*+
Are you running on the opensource nouveau driver?
inxi -Ga
I’m new to this and I don’t understand it well, so I put the command you mentioned and now I’ll tell you what appeared so I’ll know if it’s working or not.
$ inxi -Ga

The problem likely is that it’s not showing the drivers as loaded. How did you install the drivers?
Edit: Didn’t? Or you did and they just aren’t loading properly.
Edit: It also shows no monitor picked up. What spec version is the DP cable?

Can you run nvidia-inst -t and post the whole output it shows.
Edit: This is just a test so no changes will be done.
Edit: Since you are new then you need to use code tags around what you post from the output. Just put three back ticks ``` or three tilde ~~~ before and after what you copy and post from the output. Or you can use the preformatted text button above in the topic window.
I have not installed the drivers because, as I mentioned, everything worked correctly until yesterday with a large number of resolutions. I don’t know what the DP of a cable is, sorry.
Well i think you need to install the drivers. Can you please run nvidia-inst -t and post the whole output.
I have put the command nvidia-inst -t and I get order not found.
You may have to install nvidia-inst first.
When you installed did you use the default menu entry and not the nvidia one?
Edit: If you did it should be showing nouveau driver.
How do I do it? (of course, in case it is something more or less simple)
yay -S nvidia-inst
Edit: Then run the test and post the complete output.
nvidia-inst -t

Sorry, none of the Nvidia driver series [545, 470, 390] is supported.

Ok
Edit:It seems I answered the wrong one
What happens if you run

Edit: Can you also run this one.

I think this card needs the 340.XX version so you need to install them from the AUR.
yay -S nvidia-340xx-dkms nvidia-340xx-utils nvidia-340xx-settings
Edit: This is using yay to install which will build the packages and install. Just press enter for each question since you are not familiar with it.
Edit2: Once it is all done then you’ll need to reboot and post this again.
inxi -Ga

It’s because the card is now unsupported via Nvidia so you have to install these drivers from the AUR.
Edit: It should have been running on the open source nouveau driver but somethings messed it up.
Wait
