Asked by Carnalbeast

I have problems with nvidia driver and repos on ubuntu 12.10 64bit.

When i 'm in a 3d game and try to change resolution ingame the game exits.

I tried to install the proprietary drivers (tested) but after reboot couldn't login to ubuntu , it lower the resolution and when i try to login i got nothing but the desktop screen no dash no menus no nothing !!!!

 the output of:

sudo lshw -C display; lsb_release -a; uname -a

is the following:

No it doesn't work.
I have a cheap ati radeon hd graphics card but i'm sure that i will have the same either tearing or extremely low fps on ubuntu as i had on beta2 .

Ubuntu 12.10 simply don't work for me , the only good is that it seems to has better performance but i can't change resolution on games and when i exit a game the ubuntu desktop remains with the resolution of the game for example if the games runned on 800x600 and exit i will have the same resolution.

I don't know what is the problem my card is too old ? cause geforce gts 250 run any new game full res full quality many many fps , absolutely perfect. Maybe its time to move to windows cause it started giving to my nerves......

Can you help with this problem?
