I have tried the Compiz 3D which is Ok. I then tried the other 3 D option and calamity. No screen. Everything just stays black. Is there a way back to the standard screen working blind or do I have to load everything again ?

I don't ever run it but think you can probably get back to a standard video output if you simply delete the compiz configuration folders:

Quote:

~/.compizconfig

~/.compiz

...then restart the xserver.

Maybe someone that runs it will provide a better answer.

Let us know how it goes.

This clears the 3d options and returns it to the normal screen. All is now well and thank you for your response.
