The max I can set my resolution currently is 1024x768, but my laptop's native resolution is 1920x1080. I've always been able to set it to 1920x1080 without issue, but since I broke my video driver (I installed 'nvidia-current' which broke my display, see [this thread](https://askubuntu.com/questions/414713/how-to-fix-lubuntu-gui)) I haven't been able to get above the aforementioned 1024x768.

I've tried the instructions from [this thread](http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=8595940&mode=linear#post8595940) and [this wiki](https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Config/Resolution) but haven't made any progress.

Video Card:

```
travis@travis-ThinkPad-W510:~$ lscpi |grep VGA
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation GT216GLM [Quadro FX 880M] (rev a2)

```

Output for 'xrandr'

```

```

Any suggestions?
