Hi all,

I recently switched from windows to Linux Mint 17, and have been having the following problem ever since. As soon as I exit XBMC:

- The resolution of my primary monitor automatically reduces from (1920x1080) to (832x624).
- Both monitors end up on top of each other (in the Display Settings).

Now I suspected this was related to my GPU (Geforce GT 540M) driver and installed the latest Nvidia driver (331). This caused me to boot without any monitors being recognised so I had to boot from a flash drive and reinstall the Nouveau driver.

Another suggestion I found online (not sure how relevant this really is) was to turn off Optimus in the BIOS, but I cant find such settings in my BIOS.

Any ideas on what else I could try?

Mind telling us what version you tried. If this was not a nightly, please try one of those.

Wow, thank you! That did the trick!

I was running 13.0 btw, but all is good now. Spent many hours trying to fix this myself today. Was I wrong in thinking this was a driver issue?

Thanks again!
