**Problem:**
My Nvidia graphics card requires
340.x
drivers, so I tried installing an older-than-most-recent driver to see if it could help me. It did not help, and now I that I removed it, I cannot get any other resolution on my screen, besides 1024 x 768
.
**Steps taken:**
1. apt install nvidia-legacy-390xx-driver
(old, but not enough);
2. apt remove nvidia-drivers
(too newer than 340);
3. apt-get install --reinstall xserver-xorg-core libgl1-mesa-glx
because [someone on the internet said it would work](https://askubuntu.com/questions/360761/cannot-get-rid-of-nvidia-drivers-restore-nouveau-driver-and-get-desktop-working) .
4. apt install nvidia-drivers
5. apt remove nvidia-smi
6. apt-get install --reinstall xserver-xorg-core libgl1-mesa-glx
again, because [someone on the internet still says it would work](https://askubuntu.com/questions/360761/cannot-get-rid-of-nvidia-drivers-restore-nouveau-driver-and-get-desktop-working) .
This did not restore the resolution to the normal that I used before. On the settings through GUI, I can only set 1024 x 768
.
