This is the difficulty. From a USB device worked perfectly, but after I installed a very low resolution.I has no idea why, especially since the works of USB.I have an nVidia card, not knowing exactly what model. Any help? I deleted Backtrack 4 and backtrack5 not be used at this time. Anyone knows how to get a normal screen? Ctrl + alt + keypad + / - works, But gives me an even lesser resolution (600 I think) what I can do.?
Press CTRL + ALT + F1, to change the session.
xorg-configure
This will generate an xorg.conf file (with current drivers) in the root folder
Editing the xorg.conf file:
If you have problems with the refresh rate (which has an old CRT monitor), add in the "Monitor" this line "VertRefresh 70" (with quotes and monitor refresh rate support)
To change resolution goto Section "Screen" in the subsection "Display" in default of your choice and put the first "800x600"
After finishing the proofreading xorg.conf / usr/lib/X11/xorg.conf.d / and use the startx command and will have its fixed resolution

I had the same problem as you with a new installation. Only gave me two options that were nowhere near my current screen resolution.
Try this if the Nvidia-Settings is giving you a "run nvidia-xconfig as root" message.
nvidia-xconfigCode:#open a terminal
#type in the following
add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-s-swat/x-updates
#it may give you a message about needing python-software-properties
#if it does just type in "apt-get install python-software-properties"
#Next, type in the following
apt-get update && apt-get install nvidia-current nvidia-current-modaliases nvidia-settings
#after those install REBOOT
#while you're still in text mode and haven't started X yet type in the
#following
Code:#now REBOOT
#after you reboot and startx, you should be able to access the
#nvidia-settings and make all the necessary adjustments
#hope this helped
nvidia-xconfigCode:##I had the same problem with a fresh install. This was the way that I worked around
##it. Open up a terminal and type the following....
add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-x-swat/x-updates
##it may prompt you to install a python program. do so if it does.
##after you have added the repo, type in the following
apt-get update && apt-get install nvidia-current nvidia-current-modaliases nvidia-settings
##once those have downloaded and installed, REBOOT
##after you have rebooted and are still in the command line before you run 'startx'
##type in the following...
Code:##it will tell you that there is not one currently and that it has saved a new one
##REBOOT again. Once you are done with this it should boot up in the appropriate
##resolution, but if not, you should now be able to change it to whatever you like.
##hope this helped
I have the similar difficulty like this, I had a high-quality declaration, delightful in the live cd was 1600 * 900 and when I install the gnome Backtack 5 resolution 800 * 600 and monitor cannot find unknown the NVIDIA control panel . I do not be familiar with what to do to fix the resolution. Further instruction and fix needed please let me know if you got any tutorial for this problem.post here as soon as you find any solution.
