hi people,

yesterday I received a new better machine from my Dad with this nvidia GeForce 8400 GS graphic card. I am just on installing LinuxMint 10 on it. Just after installing the reboot without having the propriatory driver installed works fine. But if I install this driver (current-version as recommended) then the display-resolution is way too big. But if I want to change that in nvidia-settings, I receive the message, that I sould edit my nvidia-xorg-conf as root and then restart my xserver. But if I open this document as root (as stated in this massage), then I only see an empty document on my screen. So my next question would be: how to edit this nvidia-xorg-conf? My Monitor is this model:

Acer x193w 16:9 (widescreen)

So what do I have to do, to get my screen-resolution fixed?? The resolution after installation of this nvidia-driver is way to big and looks horrible on my screen.

So I really need help!!

Thick Greetings
