The non existent display is "Unknown Display" shown in gnome-control-center --> display and "CRT-0" in nvidia-settings, and "VGA-0" in xrandr -q output. It will cause gdm failed to start. gnome-shell has some crazy layouts. lightdm will only occupy 2/3 of monitor in top left corner. I tested this in intel driver only environment. and nvidia-331 installation environment. My laptop is Asus U36JC. My monitor correct resolution is 1366x768. The following is the output of "xrandr -q" in gnome-shell with nvidia-331 installed: $ xrandr -q Screen 0: minimum 8 x 8, current 1366 x 768, maximum 8192 x 8192 VGA-0 connected primary 680x384+0+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 0mm x 0mm panning 1366x768+0+0 680x384 60.0*+ 1366x768 60.0 1360x768 60.0 HDMI-0 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) LVDS-1-0 connected 1366x768+0+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 293mm x 165mm 1366x768 60.0*+ 1360x768 59.8 60.0 1024x768 60.0 60.0 960x720 60.0 928x696 60.1 896x672 60.0 960x600 60.0 960x540 60.0 800x600 60.0 60.3 56.2 840x525 60.0 59.9 800x512 60.2 700x525 60.0 640x512 60.0 720x450 59.9 640x480 60.0 59.9 680x384 59.8 60.0 576x432 60.1 512x384 60.0 400x300 60.3 56.3 320x240 60.1 VGA-1-0 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) HDMI-1-0 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) DisplayPort-1-0 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 1366x768 (0x46) 69.3MHz h: width 1366 start 1425 end 1464 total 1472 skew 0 clock 47.1KHz v: height 768 start 773 end 782 total 785 clock 60.0Hz 1360x768 (0x48) 72.0MHz h: width 1360 start 1408 end 1440 total 1520 skew 0 clock 47.4KHz v: height 768 start 771 end 781 total 790 clock 60.0Hz 680x384 (0x5c) 36.0MHz h: width 680 start 704 end 720 total 760 skew 0 clock 47.4KHz v: height 384 start 385 end 390 total 395 clock 60.0Hz The following is the output of "xrandr -q" in lxde with nvidia-331 installed: $ xrandr -q Screen 0: minimum 8 x 8, current 1366 x 768, maximum 8192 x 8192 VGA-0 connected primary 1024x768+31+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 0mm x 0mm panning 1366x768+0+0 680x384 60.0 + 1366x768 60.0 1360x768 60.0 HDMI-0 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) LVDS-1-0 connected 1366x768+0+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 293mm x 165mm 1366x768 60.0*+ 1360x768 59.8 60.0 1024x768 60.0 60.0 960x720 60.0 928x696 60.1 896x672 60.0 960x600 60.0 960x540 60.0 800x600 60.0 60.3 56.2 840x525 60.0 59.9 800x512 60.2 700x525 60.0 640x512 60.0 720x450 59.9 640x480 60.0 59.9 680x384 59.8 60.0 576x432 60.1 512x384 60.0 400x300 60.3 56.3 320x240 60.1 VGA-1-0 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) HDMI-1-0 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) DisplayPort-1-0 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 1366x768 (0x46) 69.3MHz h: width 1366 start 1425 end 1464 total 1472 skew 0 clock 47.1KHz v: height 768 start 773 end 782 total 785 clock 60.0Hz 1360x768 (0x48) 72.0MHz h: width 1360 start 1408 end 1440 total 1520 skew 0 clock 47.4KHz v: height 768 start 771 end 781 total 790 clock 60.0Hz 1024x768 (0x4a) 65.0MHz h: width 1024 start 1048 end 1184 total 1344 skew 0 clock 48.4KHz v: height 768 start 771 end 777 total 806 clock 60.0Hz 680x384 (0x5c) 36.0MHz h: width 680 start 704 end 720 total 760 skew 0 clock 47.4KHz v: height 384 start 385 end 390 total 395 clock 60.0Hz Note: this Unknown non-existent display happens in intel driver only environment TOO. If required, I can provide "xrandr -q" output with that environment. At present, I don't bother to remove/purge my nvidia-331 installation. Please let me know if anything else is required. Thank you very much!
