[NBLUG/talk] Ubuntu Video driver Resolution

[Howard]

  apt-get -f brought up the useage of option switches. wasn't sure 
exactly what I was trying to get at. Thought this was supposed to show 
me pacakages that failed to update properly.

nvidia settings or xsettings reply with program not found, and xrandr 
just gave me info on my video card.

I think my systems was pretty broken. Ended up doing a fresh install. 
Then had to spend some time fixing Grub.
All is back in order.
