Is there anyone to confirm that with a manual install of the 173.14.31
driver unity-3d will work? With only one comment it feels a bit
adventurous since the process isn't exactly noob-friendly.

Bug description:
  Video card: 01:00.0 0300: 10de:0322 (rev a1) "nVidia Corporation NV34
  [GeForce FX 5200] (rev a1)"

  Installed ubuntu Natty 11.04 and installed proposed "NVIDIA accelerated graphics driver (version 173)"
  nvidia-173 (version 173.14.30-0ubuntu1)

  After reboot the screen became 640x480 and unity login got stuck.
  Had to do "apt-get remove nvidia-173".

  In jockey show this "This driver is activated but not currently in use".
  nvidia-173 is the recommended driver.
