http://askubuntu.com – I have installed newest Nvidia drivers (from their site with the .run file) on my laptop with Nvidia Geroce 420M. After some time I decided to try out open source drivers there I went to System Settings -> Software Sources -> Additional drivers and clicked Open source drivers and applied the changes. After a reboot I have had no Unity panel shown when I logged into the system. So I googled a little and then removed all nvidia-* packages (except nvidia-common) and installed nvidia-current-updates, rebooted and ... boom system won't load. So I booted now from the livecd and got some (HowTos)

Folks,

I'm thinking about getting a new laptop with the above on. Can anyone advise how good ATI's Linux drivers are? I have run laptops with nvidia cards very successfully, but in the past ATI's support has been lacking.

My laptop has 2 GPUs, the Intel HD Graphics 4000, and NVIDIA GeForce FT 650M. How do I switch between GPUs? I tried installing drivers from NVIDIA, but that ruined my Ubuntu installation, and I had to reinstall. The Additional Drivers in Settings don't list any Nvidia drivers either.

I have a fresh installation of Ubuntu 12.10.When I tried to install nvidia drivers the following errors occurred. Please help. Can I use Nvidia drivers with Unity?
