I've just installed Lubuntu 12.10 on an old laptop (IBM ThinkPad 600X). However, after booting Lubuntu, everything looks like in negative (eg. colors are inverted, like there's some assistive technology enabled). During installation (using alternative installer), colors were OK. Before installing Lubuntu, I had windows installed, it was showing colors OK as well. So, I believe it's something with Lubuntu. Is there any way I can fix that?

Edit: I've just installed Lubuntu 12.04. Everything works fine, so this had to be a 12.10 error.

have you installed any third party utilities (e.g. compiz config)? try and look for any accessibility settings that's inverting the screen colors. – Eliran Malka Nov 18 '12 at 9:54
have you ckecked the graphics driver? Either it is that or you need to ckeck the colors through an app. – Atladica Nov 18 '12 at 10:07
I have not installed any software. I can't seem to find any accessibility options. – Piotr Nov 18 '12 at 10:23
Some of the accessibility themes are high contrast inversions. – fabricator4 Nov 18 '12 at 11:33
Graphics driver is neofb. I'm not using any assistive technology apps nor high contrast theme. Just plain system out of the box. – Piotr Nov 18 '12 at 11:46

I've installed Lubuntu 12.04 and problem dissappeared. I believe it's only 12.10 bug. Running 12.10 from LiveCD gives same result - broken colors.
