I was trying to fix a different problem when suddenly my screen switched upside down - rotated 180 degrees. How can I fix this. I'm on Xubuntu 14.10 and a Dell Latitude e6420.

Somehow, the screen settings (xrandr) must have changed to "inverted" while you were trying to fix things.

You can fix it by running the command:

xrandr --output <screen_name> --rotate normal

or, (easyer) by simply loging out and back in :)
