In an effort to get OpenGL working on a Dell XPS running 14.04 LTS on Intel graphics hardware, I followed some advice and did the following:
add-apt-repository ppa:oibaf/graphics-drivers
apt-get update
apt-get upgrade
Now OpenGL works! But the upgrade caused other video problems that make the computer practically unusable. For example, I can no longer run a terminal on the desktop; I can still get a text-mode terminal with ctrl-alt-F1 though.
How can I undo this upgrade? It's the last apt-thing I've done. Alternatively, how do I reinstall the original Dell driver?
More info: I'm pretty sure I'm a victim of this bug, which seems to be unresolved.
The following is info that the very helpful @edwinksl asked for. Too cumbersome for a comment.
