After installing Nvidia drivers (I assume its that, fresh install looked fine) I can no longer boot grub with 1920x1080.

I have tried the normal solutions with adding:

GRUB_GFXMODE=1280x1024
GRUB_GFXPAYLOAD_LINUX=keep

I´ve entered "c" in grub boot and this is the highest resolution i see there. The splash also looks bad (like an 8bit nintendo) when loading Ubuntu.

Is there any way to solve this other than reverting to X driver? (would reverting cause performance issues? i dont play in linux, mostly video managing and editing / mediaserver / other servers...)

Unfortunately, the proprietary driver does not support high resolution during boot-up. You could uninstall the proprietary drivers, but graphics performance will not be near as good. You can remove the proprietary drivers for the Software and Updates dialog (though I would not recommend it).

  • What kind of performance drop are we talking about? Like i mentioned, I use it as a workstation / Server. – Izzno Mar 04 '16 at 00:15

    As a server, you could go with either driver, as the driver mainly affects the graphics performance. As a workstation, it depends on the kind of work you do, and also on what desktop environment you use (Ubuntu/Kubuntu/Xubuntu (my personal favorite)/Lubuntu). – QwertyChouskie Mar 04 '16 at 01:22
  • At first i hated Unity... I used one week trying to adapt cinnamon. When i realized i could not get it the way i want i forced my self to try Unity, and now i love it. I did not think about Compiz and such...

    So, sticking with proprietary drivers.

Does anyone have experience with the Ubuntu-X drivers? Would this fix the boot resolution?
