Upsidedown desktop

[foutes]

Started up laptop tonight to find the desktop is upside down.

Ubuntu 10.10 gnome

Asus Eee PC 1215N

I have tried xrandr -o normal to no avail.

Anyone ever run into this?

Does anyone else have access to your computer ... my first thoughts would be someone is setting me up here.

do you have a separate xorg.conf file .......... check there first .......

gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf

show a screenshot of it - or copy and paste it here ........ it may give clues ..... :confused:

what graphics card is it you use too ...... ?

Just googled it (http://www.google.com/search?client=ubuntu&channel=fs&q=linux+upside+down+desktop&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8)and then checked its not April the 1st ........ seems that you are not alone .....

one of the others just re-installed the Nvidia drivers and solved it ......

you try the monitor settings under preferences?

No one but me has access to the laptop .

The desktop is not usable so no screen shots.I am using a live cd to post here.

If it works ok with the live cd

Copy the xorg.conf somewhere safe ........ to xorg.conf.backup1

and retry it ...... without one - by deleting the old xorg.conf .

Then to re-create a new one once you are in ...... type

sudo nvidia-xconfig

to create a new Xorg.conf

see if it makes any difference

mine looks like this ..... and I am not sure how yours has been generated ......

Looking at the link you give for the Git site .....

Nvidia Optimus Support in Ubuntu https://github.com/MrMEEE/bumblebee

Confirmed working on Asus Eee PC 1215n in Ubuntu 10.10.


is this the only way you could get it to work ?

[foutes]

I reinstalled nvidia drivers and the desktop is now as it should be but now I can not enable desktop effects.

[NetDoc]

The desktop is not usable so no screen shots.I am using a live cd to post here. Qelle domage! That would have been fun to at least see. Be sure to let us know of the ultimate solution.

[foutes]

It seems it is a bug in Bumblebee,

Bumblebee is for Optimus support in Ubuntu.

I will post the fix I get from the link in my sig in case someone else has this problem.
