I arrived here because I have broken 3D as promised - I have a NVidia Geforce GT 525M in a Dell 5110 (Q15R) with Intel HD 3000 built in.

However, there's no obvious information as to how I get myself out of the mess which Jockey has got me in because...

* Jockey doesn't tell me it's installing a .deb and which one, and offers me no means of reversing it.
* Jockey's 'remove' doesn't actually remove stuff apparently. It just breaks the Intel support by installing a package and leaves it that way, even when you revisit Jockey and ask it to reverse the steps.

Basically I had working 3D desktop effects in LiveCD and original install, then broken effects since running Jockey, and still broken even after asking Jockey to remove, and removing the xorg.conf added by nvidia-xconfig as advised by nvidia-settings.

I think I need to install Synaptic, and remove nvidia-current, but there's been no discussion in this bug thread what people should actually do who are experiencing the bug to get back at least to Intel graphics.
