Hi, I can't add new resolution using xrandr.
I want to have 1280x1024 resolution.
My graphic card is nvidia gt 440.

Here is what I did.

After fresh install of Kali Linux 64 bit version 2016.1 I've checked resolution using xrandr:
Code:
root@kali:~# xrandr
Screen 0: minimum 320 x 200, current 2944 x 1200, maximum 16384 x 16384
HDMI-1 connected primary 1920x1200+0+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 518mm x 324mm
   1920x1200     59.95*+
   1920x1080     60.00    50.00    59.94    30.00    25.00    24.00    29.97    23.98  
   1920x1080i    60.00    50.00    59.94  
   1600x1200     60.00  
   1280x1024     75.02    60.02  
   1152x864      75.00  
   1280x720      60.00    50.00    59.94  
   1024x768      75.08    60.00  
   800x600       75.00    60.32  
   720x576       50.00  
   720x480       60.00    59.94  
   640x480       75.00    60.00    59.94  
   720x400       70.08  
VGA-1 connected 1024x768+1920+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 0mm x 0mm
   1024x768      60.00* 
   800x600       60.32    56.25  
   848x480       60.00  
   640x480       59.94  
DVI-I-1 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis)
Then I have updated KALI using:
Code:
root@kali:~# apt-get update
root@kali:~# apt-get upgrade
root@kali:~# apt-get dist-upgrade
And started installing NVIDIA drivers but
Code:
root@kali:~# apt-get install linux-headers-$(uname -r)
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
E: Unable to locate package linux-headers-4.3.0-kali1-amd64
E: Couldn't find any package by glob 'linux-headers-4.3.0-kali1-amd64'
E: Couldn't find any package by regex 'linux-headers-4.3.0-kali1-amd64'
So I used this
Code:
root@kali:~# apt-cache search linux-headers

linux-libc-dev-sparc64-cross - Linux Kernel Headers for development (for cross-compiling)
root@kali:~# apt-get install linux-headers-4.4.0-kali1-all-amd64
After that
Code:
root@kali:~# apt-get install nvidia-kernel-dkms
root@kali:~# sed 's/quiet/quiet nouveau.modeset=0/g' -i /etc/default/grub
root@kali:~# update-grub
root@kali:~# reboot
After reboot I checked again resolution using xrandr, and some new res appeared
Code:
root@kali:~# xrandr
Screen 0: minimum 8 x 8, current 2944 x 1200, maximum 16384 x 16384

   1360x768      59.96    59.80  
   1152x864      60.00  
   800x600       72.19    60.32    56.25  
   680x384       59.96    59.80  
   640x480       59.94  
   512x384       60.00  
   400x300       72.19  
   320x240       60.05

   1920x1200     59.95*+  59.88  
   1920x1080     60.00    59.94    50.00    29.97    25.00    23.97    60.05    60.00    50.04  
   1600x1200     60.00  
   1280x1024     75.02    60.02  
   1280x720      60.00    59.94    50.00

   1024x768      75.03    60.00

   640x480       75.00    59.94    59.93
So I started adding my native resolution 1280x1024
Code:

But I'm getting error.

Thank you for any help, it is greatly appreciated.
