Well fuck you too.
Do you think I made that up so that you could come here and call me ignorant? It happened.
I installed the nvidia driver and couldn't change resolution. That is, I could not save the configuration file after making changes.
I had to save the configuration file somewhere else, open the original one at its default location in some folder with restricted access as super user, then copy and paste in the changes.
