I have a GTX260 on my desktop. And yesterday I was playing around with "Addiion Drivers" in Software Update, and accidentally change the driver to something doesn't work for me.
So when I start my computer today it shows very disappointing 800 x 640
Anyway, I recovered the driver with following steps:
1. open a terminal Ctrl + Alt + t
2. install headers and sources for 12.10
sudo apt-get install linux-headers
sudo apt-get install linux-source
sudo apt-get install linux-headers-`uname -r`
3. update nvidia-current
sudo apt-get install nvidia-current
4. grep to see if nvidia-current is loaded now. If not, try to loaded it
sudo depmod -a // build modules dependency list
sudo modprobe nvidia-current
5. reboot
someone may argue you can just "sudo restart lightdm", but that doesn't work for me.
Hope this helps!
