I am sure, that this is a config corruption, where none Intel drivers
interfere with normal graphics setup.

The below solution worked for some of us!

I usually delete any other video card drivers other than my own card.

*Purge* (which also deletes the config) all other xorg drivers except for
vesa and framebuffer.

Purge and reinstall the xorg Intel driver.

To be save purge compiz as well.

Then reboot and see if this worked.

VV  More step to step info below  VV :

Nvidia drivers & related software (nvidia configurators) (and perhaps other
video drivers)

change settings for Intel drivers. And so tell the xorg-intel (or ATI or
others)

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!

Thanks BavarianPH, I had this issue after upgrading from 9.10 to 10.04 Alpha
yesterday. Your solution fixed my problems on my Dell 6000 with an Intel 910
onboard graphics.
