Well the time came when my good friend Richard asked for some help with his new monitor/graphics card setup.

Ubuntu had thrown him into low graphics mode. No good for his new 22″ LCD and also no good without 3D acceleration.

This fix takes about 20 seconds but will basically remove X11 from your Ubuntu install, purge the files and reinstall it so you can setup X11 exactly as it does in the installation of Ubuntu.
