Messed up my 12.04 graphics: Falsely installed NVidia drivers on HD Graphics
OK hope you can help. After installing Ubuntu 12.04 I noticed that my graphics were sluggish so I decided to install the new NVidia drivers. Wrongly I assumed I needed NVidia drivers. Stupid mistake, my laptop has a Intel HD Graphics driver.
Damage is done. Computer is stuck in 640x480 and I can't change it. I removed the Nvidia drivers:
sudo apt-get remove nvidia-current
And tried installing mesa-utils
:
sudo apt-get install mesa-utils
Still nothing. Please help.
Try re-installing (or install if missing)
xserver-xorg-video-intel
These are the drivers for Intel, hopefully a re-install will fix the settings that Nvidia borked.
