I'm using Ubuntu 12.10 on an Asus EEEPC 1015PN. This netbook has an Nvidia Ion GPU, which I had to install Mtrons scripts in order to use (located here: https://sites.google.com/site/mtrons/howtos/eeepc-1015pn). These worked great at first and I much prefer the Nvidia mode for Steam and Minecraft and other gaming.

However today I tested out the Intel mode and it also works great. But I restarted in order to go back to the Nvidia mode and it doesn't boot to the window manager, instead it just drops me into tty1. The only way I can get to a GUI is by using the Intel mode and now I'm basically stuck in Intel mode. I tried restarting many times and also have tried the commands from Mtron's script such as sudo display-settings auto and sudo display_settings fix and also sudo display-settings config-nvidia. None of those worked. I can't seem to get to the GUI. I would appreciate some advice if anyone has encountered this problem. Thank you very much.

This should have been a bugreport and not a question suitable for this site but well, here we are ;) Next time, use the integrated "report a bug" wizard in the gui. So we can make sure bug reports reach me.

This bug happened because the driver naming schema for the nvidia binary driver package changed from 'nvidia-current' to nvidia-< first 3 digits of driver version>. The scripts are updated now and work with the new schema, so update to the latest version (assuming you already added the ppa run sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade ) and run 

sudo display-settings regenerate-glx
