My Ubuntu and Zorin OS 12 both say Unknown Display and are stuck at 640x480 Res












-1















Hi i cannot get linux to work for the life of me.



My Specs are a 1050Ti that im trying to troubleshoot. Windows work fine but Zorin OS and Ubuntu both say Unknown Display and i cannot change it from 640 x 480. It is stuck there. I have tried both the Open Source driver and the priotary driver with no luck. I have tried to use the built in driver install but that just put it in a boot loop. I am getting frustrated and don't understand. Reinstalling the thing so many times think i had to modify the Grub file fixed it but it broke the entire OS. I have done more testing on Zorin. Any ideas?

  • Further Knowledge says it is using Gallium 0.4 instead of Nvidia Geforce GTX 1050 Ti which my older linux distro said
