Nvidia drivers & related software (nvidia configurators)
change settings for Intel drivers. And so tell the xorg-intel
driver the wrong info.
For all NONE-Nvidia PCs, easy to fix:
If you have "simple-ccsm" (Simple Compizconfig settings
manager) installed:
(if not install "ccsm" or "compizconfig-settings-manager")
1st right-click on your PC Desktop, use <Tab> to select,
left-click on "Change Desktop Background".
Use <Tab> again & select "Visual Effects" tab,
use <Tab> key once again & select "None".
(Upside down & mirrored is difficult to read or select by
mouse. <Tab> will indicate where you are in a menu).
The Desktop will right itself.
Then use "Synaptic Package Manager"
(or the Terminal, for those who know how) & purge
all Nvidia programs, refresh (apt-get update),
& it may be a good idea to reinstall your particular
Video card software which will set configuration
back to where it should have been. Then restart "compiz"
& select your level of Visual Effects. Problem solved!
Perhaps the Ubuntu Masters may build a fail-save,
so that wrong video info can not corrupt configs.
BavarianPH,
Ubuntu forever!
