I have a PC with Ubuntu 22.04 installed and operating. My monitor is a
new Viewsonic VA2215 1920x1080, the PC's video card is an NVIDIA GeForce
GT 710. All is good.
I installed Ubuntu 24.04 alongside the ver. 22.04, and it went well
except that there was no attempt to match the NVIDIA output to the
Viewsonic. I now have a theoretical screen approximately twice the
width of the actual screen.
How do I force the card to try to match up with the actual monitor's
screen? All NVIDIA drivers are present and correct. It's like watching
a mobile quarter of an IMAX screen. At least the ver. 22.04 still
works properly.

All help very welcome.

Not really, I avoid the Linux/nVidia combination.

I see why. I just went on to NVIDIA chat, and was told where to re-load
the driver from. I did that, but when I followed the installation
instructions, it failed with multiple reasons that require me to go deep
into kernel creation, and other deep geek things. Way beyond my
paygrade.
I will abandon this installation of 24.04. I only wish that reclaiming
the space was easier that it appears to be. Could I try to reload over
this one?

Thanks for at least one response!
