I recently presented my desktop with a sparkling fresh install of Kubuntu. However, the graphics card did not seem to be fully functional. So I go to the Hardware Drivers manager, and behold, the "enabled" box is unchecked. Of course, I click it.
Or that is what I think I did.
Guess I was too tired to be close to anything more complicated than a toothbrush that night. What I saw upon booting the next day is a monitor that is stuck in 640x480 resolution, a driver that is still marked as "Not in use", and worst of all, no idea what I did or how to reverse it.
Here are some screenshots:
Example of what the desktop looks like
What happens when I try to check the "Enable" box now
The GUI is half-inaccessible, as the second picture should demonstrate (but I have enough space to work the terminal, if fixing this through that is a possibility). Even if there is just one button I need to click to fix this whole thing, it may be that I just can not REACH it. =(
The graphics card is an Nvidia 8800GT.
Thanks in advance. Really got myself stuck this time.
