Didn't you say you video card crapped out on you and that you are now 
using the onboard card.  Unless your installed card and onboard card are 
one in the same it's likely they use different video drivers.
By repairing your video drivers, I mean uninstalling(better to purge it) 
the video drivers your card was using then installing the correct driver 
for the onboard video.  I don't remember what you said your
card and onboard brand(chipset) was since you snipped that info, but you 
could do and aptitude search or use synaptic to find which driver is 
installed, remove it and install the correct one for the onboard video.  
I think it's likely the drivers installed and what's needed are different.
