中文Mac系统下MonoDevelop乱码解决

Ubuntu Desktop Screen Upside down??

     I used to have an Nvidia video card on Ubuntu and use Nvidia Xserver drive for it, but couple days ago I decided to remove that card and use the onboard video card which is INTEL GMA 950.
     After take the Nvidia out, I have to generate the new xorg.conf file for the X Windows and new video device. So, just use Ctrl + Alt + F1 switch to text mode, and run:

     After reboot, the desktop screen become to upside down. Even can’t type anything in terminal. To fix it, just switch to text mode again, rename “/etc/X11/xorg.conf” to “/etc/X11/xorg.conf.new”, then reboot. The screen is back to normal but no video driver, then use synaptic to find any package beginning with “nvidia”, and remove them all. Last thing is change “/etc/X11/xorg.conf.new” back to “/etc/X11/xorg.conf” and reboot, then all set.
