upside-down reversed desktop

I got some problem at startup before login such screen splashing, startup blocking on "checking battery status" and screen going black.
Now, that I've solved the above problems I see the desktop screen is upside-down n reversed as well. I tried re-installing nvidia-current, re-installing kubuntu-desktop, checking if xserver-xconfig-video-intel is installed (it is), installing lightdm, setting gdm as default, but, none of them worked out. Still I got the same problem.

Maybe, xserver-xconfig-video-intel and nvidia-current conflict n I should remove nvidia-current?
or maybe xserver-xconfig-video-intel latest version only supports nvidia-current-updates and nvidia-settings-updates instead of
nvidia-current and nvidia-settings !

I think my driver is Intel as:
Code:
#cat xorg.conf.new | grep vesa
    Driver "vesa"

I also upgraded my KUBUNTU 11.1, I don't know how I solve this problem, I tried different ways, I think the last option is to try installing BumbleBee

I also installed xserver-xconfig-video-intel and intel-dbkg packages from package manager. Moreover, I tried running jockey-gtk, though it cannot see any proprietary graphic driver!

you got any idea?

Negative,if it was as simple as this, I wouldn't spend 2 days trying different solutions :d.

I don't think the problem is the intel card driver as it is installed already. I does pop up normally in recovery mode, as a standard library is used for it.
but in generic linux it is reversed n upside down.
here:

Code:
lshw -C display

this shows the suitable driver for this is

i915, the intel driver.

so what is the problem, as anyone faced this problem before?

Does the screen also looks reversed when you start the computer? (Before you go into GUI)

Looks like a pretty similar problem?
