I've searched for a 3.5.0 kernel for Precise at KernelMainlineBuilds but couldn't find it. Installed a 3.5.0 kernel following instruction found on ubuntuforum from PPA. Kernel was installed, but my system booted in 640-480 resolution with notifications at boot up that the screen wasn't recognized. Nividia drivers were disabled, so I tried to switch them on with the respective tool - but this was not succesful - probably because the screen was not recognized. Didn't have the time to tinker with the x-configuration yesterday.

I see that you provide also a 3.6 kernel for quantal in the link at the bottom of your message. Can a quantal kernel be tested on precise?? I would like to try again, if you would provide me with a link to the (3.5) kernel you want me to test.

Sorry, I'm not a (very) technical user, but I'm very willing to help. It's a shame that the proprietary Nvidia driver that worked on previous versions like a charm on my system now renders my system completely useless.
