Bug Description

Binary package hint: xorg

I use Ubuntu on a USB stick with Lucid Beta which I plug into many systems to test them. One system has an NVIDIA graphics chipset which required the binary driver to get full resolution and hardware acceleration. After installing the driver (saving changes to xorg.conf) and bringing the USB stick back to my Dell Mini which has an INTEL Chipset, I found thet I would just get an endless flickering terminal. I thought, well bulletproof X will go over the xorg.conf file and see that it is rubbish and overide it with automatic settings. Since I was wrong I renamed the xorg.conf file and rebooted. This time I started normally, but once I entered my gnome-session, everything was fliped backwards and letters were upside down, as seen in the screenshot attached.
