Derek White proposed the following answer:
As a side note, you do not need the terminal to install restricted
drivers. On the menu open System > Administration > Hardware Drivers.
That will open the jockey-gtk program and it will list any restricted
drivers that are available for your system. These are not the bleeding
edge drivers that are available from nVidia's website, but they are
slightly older ones that have been known to work well on Ubuntu after
testing. If one shows up, simply check the check-box and it will install
(you might have to enter your password). Most likely, it will also
instruct you to restart. Take it's advice. ;)

Now, your problem seems to be a known bug. Visit
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-power-
manager/+bug/377370 and put in your story/any information that might
help them. Also, if you can/want to try to give the information that has
been requested by Scott Howard. If this is beyond you, let him know as
well.

The screensaver issue might be a different problem like OpenGL. Does it
only happen with a graphics intensive screen-savers? But, it is also
worth mentioning in the bug report I linked to.
