This is not a generic question but rather a specific one for my system. I just freshly installed ubuntu 12.04 and did all the updates.

One of the updates told me to install additional hardware (for my nvidea geforce 610m graphics card), which gave me 2 options: the recommended one, or the post-release one. I picked recommended.

However the second screen wasnt working properly (monitor gets a signal, but nothing appears on it) and i get the error:

Failed to apply configuration: %s GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.UnknownMethod: No such interface `org.gnome.SettingsDaemon.XRANDR_2' on object at path /org/gnome/SettingsDaemon/XRANDR

After googling this error i found various tips which whould solve the issue and i dont really know what i've done so far :( (i did mess around with arandr and xrandr)

problem is: tabs is my firefox now appear horribly oldschool looking and basicly I want to get that back and get my second screen to work.

Can anyone help? My laptop is an Asus A55VD.

It's required to disable Nvidia Optimus feature in BIOS. In my case it fixed the problem. I see that your ASUS laptop also has got the feature. So it should help you

solution to this problem is to simply use ubuntu 2D instead of 3D. 1- on the log in screen there there is the ubuntu sign above the password field. 2- press on the Ubuntu Icon and then choose 2D instead of 3D, solve the problem like magic.
