I installed nouveau drivers to replace nvidia, but now when desktop starts, everything is inverted vertically AND horizontally, which gives a very weird effect (apart from being unusable). Interestingly, cursor is not being inverted at all and order of letters remains left->right, but they are inverted upside-down...

I am also using compiz and emerald.
(In reply to comment #1) > I am also using compiz and emerald. The problem probably disappears when you use metacity instead of Compiz. Try reinstalling mesa*, I suspect you have some leftovers from the "official" driver on your system.
>>> The problem probably disappears when you use metacity instead of Compiz. Try reinstalling mesa*, I suspect you have some leftovers from the "official" driver on your system. You were correct. The problem is gone if I boot into openbox instead of compiz. But I'd like to keep using compiz and reinstalling mesa didn't help.
Normally reinstalling Mesa overwrites whatever nVidia libraries there might be. They are located in /usr/lib and/or /usr/lib64, and called "libGL.so.304.18" , where the numbers might differ depending on what version of the official driver you used to have installed. Remove them, check that libGL.so.1 is a symlink to an existing file and if not unlink it and re-install libGL from mesa.
