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!
