    Well I was trying to install some compiz fusion plugins, and when I restarted my computer it took a long time loading, flashed some errors, then said it couldn't detect my resolution or graphics card and is starting in low graphics mode. Now I am stuck in 800x600 with no 3D graphics or anything. Please someone help me fix this, I do not remember exactly what I did! Could a thing called GL Desktop of screwed this up? I don't know how to uninstall it!
