Tried the Nvidia driver, installed using the Additional Drivers panel. Didn't like it much; the CPU seemed to overheat more and the brightness controls stopped working. Also selecting a second display is a pain using that horrible NVidia settings thing.
So wanted to disabled it again.. problem is, UBuntu is then stuck in either 640x480 or 800x600 (second time I tried to install it back and then remove again).
How can I get this back the way it was? The original Ubuntu drivers worked just fine, allowing me to run Unity and games properly. I tried a xserver-xorg reconfigure but this didn't do anything. (No xorg.conf file either).
This is on a Lenovo Thinkpad T410i
xserver-xorg-video-nouveau
package is still installed? This is what it should be using (if not the NVidia binary driver).dpkg -l xserver-xorg-video-nouveau
should have a line at the end startingii
if it's installed.
