It'd be fine to install the nvidia proprietary drivers in dom0, but looking at 
the documentation on the qubes project site, the guidelines are a bit outdated 
and i cant seem to be able to follow the procedure, do you know any other more 
updated tutorial that would work on an updated qubes installation?

what version of fedora is it based on, now?

you would have same issue on mainstream linux apparently man.  Nouveau is about 
the kernel version you are using.  Apparently even 4.9 might still not work 
correctly for you even on a baremetal fedora system with that card, as seen by 
the amount of people complaining on fedora forum threads.  Most people buy 
cards like that for gpu intensive processing like graphics design and gaming 
and use the nvidia proprietary drivers.  There seems to be no choice,  I guess 
if you want to use open source drivers,  your nvidia card has to be at least 
over two years old to ensure compatibility.

Indeedbleeding edge VGAs are not really the best idea for a linux OS in 
general, but with other "mainstream" distributions, i don't have these 
problems, mainly because they are more frequently updated then qubes.

I'm not blaming qubes for being conservative, don't misunderstand me, a system 
focusing primarly on security for the end user needs to be throughly tested and 
you can't simply pick up packages and import them into the repo without 
previously making sure that they don't breake the security model in any 
possible way.. also XEN is a b*** when it comes to hardware compatibility.. 
so.. yeah i just hope i'll find a way to solve my problem, as said, i'm not 
looking for high end 3d graphics in qubes at all, but at least an even non 
accelerated decent resolution.. I'd love to gain that :)

lmao just watched it.  Personally I never had any problems with nvidia on 
linux, with either open source or prop drivers.  I've always prefered it over 
ati.   But then again I would never buy bleeding edge hardware to run linux.

let's say that, for now i'd be happy enaugh if i could increase the screen 
resolution to my native monitor one, but i don't know if i have to add 
something in the xorg configuration, since even trying to force the resolution 
from there doesn't seem to work.

 another solution would be to try and install the proprietary nvidia driver

will even work but maybe worth a shot.


Somewhere in this thread belongs a diatribe against Nvidia being
