I have some graphic issues on my laptop, low resolution and no possibility to link other VGA monitor.

root@random:~# lspci -nn | grep VGA

It is possible that xorg.conf is somewhere wrong?

If you don't have a problem with using proprietary software I'd recommend using the drivers that Nvidia provide for GNU/Linux. They are usually on par with their Windows counterparts.

I tried to use nouveau on my MacBook Pro some time back, but encountered a lot of issues (flickering and other graphical artifacts). I eventually gave up and resorted to using the Nvidia drivers.

I have no problem to use proprietary driver but they cause me some issue, I've tried to install nVidia driver (consulting the wiki) but no lucky at present. I also tried to install bumblebee but the grapich is even distorted with a very low resolution and other issues. – marte3707 – 2015-07-03T19:06:59.093

Did you use the one from nvidia.com or the one in the non-free repos? – JBarberU – 2015-07-06T11:06:53.807

non-free repository – marte3707 – 2015-07-07T06:48:31.987

I usually use the one from nvidia.com (you'll have to compile a kernel module), which works fine. – JBarberU – 2015-07-07T08:46:14.800
