Monitor problem in Ubuntu 11.10

Asked by RIZA BAYOGLU

sometimes when ı start computer, It gives an alert as shown in the link http://postimage.org/image/v7uufonxx/ . Then it automatically change screen resolution. Another problem is that ratio of vertical versus horizontal of monitor is small. I mean when ı open up a pdf file, it is longer in horizontal to vertical and it tires my eyes. can somebody know about this ?

Try:

sudo nvidia-xconfig; gksudo nvidia-settings

Set the resolution in the GUI then click 'Save to X config file'
