Before using Ubuntu 12.04, I was running Xubuntu 11.10. Although,
I didn't use Unity, the computer would detect my GPU, load the
nvidia driver module, and I was able to use higher resolutions.
However, I didn't have the newest version of the kernel because
starting around version 3.2.0-15 my computer would freeze during
bootup until upgrading to 3.2.0-23 (which came with Ubuntu 12.04).

I just tested the recent mainline build of the kernel (version 3.5-rc7),
and I was able to boot into a session, unlike with rc1. However, the
GPU still isn't loading and I can only enter a Unity2D session. Also,
the boot from battery workaround didn't work with the 3.5 kernel.
