Hi all!

Your xorg server is newer than what I believe is the current released version:

lark@lark-Latitude-D630:~$ X -version


X.Org X Server 1.14.3
Release Date: 2013-09-12

You running xorg-edgers ppa or some other ppa, or perhaps running 14.04?
If so, this might be the likely cause.

[alexz]

Yes, I did this

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:xorg-edgers/ppa
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:bumblebee/stable
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install bumblebee bumblebee-nvidia primus linux-headers-generic

Do you think I have to revert Xorg to some previous version? If so, how can I do this?

Thanks!

[claydoh]

Install ppa-purge and use it like you would use add-apt-repository :

sudo ppa-purge ppa:xorg-edgers/ppa

then

sudo ppa-purge ppa:bumblebee/stable

Although, for the bumblebee ppa, you should be able to simply uninstall the related packages you installed from it.

[alexz]

But I need those packages and ppa for my second video card GeForce GT 740M.
It seems will break this video card which currently works fine for applications started with optirun or primusrun.

Thanks!

Got one case which fixes the issue. When desktop effects enabled the decorations work fine.
