I tried different drivers using 'Additional drivers (jockey-kde / jockey-gtk), right now using nvidia_304.116 via jockey-gtk: 'This driver is activated grammy song of the year but not currently in use.' Trying different drivers doesn't yield different resolutions, and in Displays my screen doesn't get recognized. Display Unknown.
Via https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Config/Resolution I tried 'Adding undetected resolutions'. $ cvt 1280 1024 # 1280x1024 grammy song of the year 59.89 Hz (CVT 1.31M4) hsync: 63.67 kHz; pclk: 109.00 MHz Modeline "1280x1024_60.00" 109.00 1280 1368 1496 1712 1024 1027 1034 1063 -hsync +vsync
This will add the mode to the list, but as TV-0 disconnected. I'm not able to use the mode.

Installed inxi: inxi -G Graphics: grammy song of the year Card: NVIDIA NV44 [GeForce 6200 LE] X.Org: 1.14.5 drivers: nvidia (unloaded: fbdev,vesa,nouveau) Resolution: 1024x768@60.0hz GLX Renderer: GeForce 6200 LE/PCIe/SSE2 GLX Version: 2.1.2 NVIDIA 304.116
What mode? What do you actually see? Who gives the "'This driver is activated but not currently in use." message? What's TV-0? Please edit your question and clarify. Also add the output of running xrandr in the terminal. –  terdon Apr 26 '14 at 12:12     
Thanks for the edit. How many displays do you have? It looks like you have just one connected and that is using a VGA cable. Is that correct? –  grammy song of the year terdon Apr 26 '14 at 12:49     
Please give us more information. How exactly grammy song of the year did you add this resolution? What was the exact command you used? Have you restarted since installing the nvidia driver? What do you actually see right now? The display is recognized, is the problem that it has the wrong resolution? –  terdon Apr 26 '14 at 13:01
Display grammy song of the year jumped to correct resolution after adding the mode to VGA-1. $ xrandr Screen 0: minimum 320 x 200, current 1280 x 1024, maximum 4096 x 4096 VGA-1 connected primary 1280x1024+0+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 0mm x 0mm 1024x768 60.0 800x600 60.3 56.2 848x480 60.0 640x480 59.9 1280x1024_60.00 59.9* TV-1 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis)
First, grammy song of the year let's make sure you can add the desired resolution. Based on the output of your cvt command, you need to run these two: xrandr --newmode "1280x1024_60.00" 109.00 1280 1368 1496 1712 1024 1027 1034 1063 -hsync +vsync xrandr --addmode VGA-0 1280x1024_60.00
If that doesn't work, my guess is that the driver you are using can't support the resolution. In this case, we will have to make sure you are using the nvidia driver and to do that, you will need to install inxi , then edit your question and add the output of inxi -G . Once we have seen the output of that we'll be able to better understand what's going on.
@Oliver OK, I was not sure if you had run both commands using VGA-0 instead of TV-0 . Based on your inxi output, you are indeed using the nvidia driver. Do you have an /etc/X11/xorg.conf file? If you don't I'm afraid I'm out of ideas. –  terdon Apr 26 '14 at 15:30     
I do have that file. It contains: grammy song of the year Section grammy song of the year "Device" Identifier "Default Device" grammy song of the year Option "NoLogo" "True" EndSection grammy song of the year –  JohnDoe Apr 26 '14 at 15:59     
@Oliver hmm, none of that should grammy song of the year affect anything. Braiam might be on to something though, I guess it's possible that your 10 year old card is not supported by the latest drivers. It might well be a good idea to try the open source drivers as he suggested instead. –  terdon Apr 26 '14 at 21:27
