Graphics Driver problem, ATI Radeon HD 3200, small screen size and slows everything down.

Regards.
I am using a:



  • 2009 Compaq Presario CQ40-415AU Notebook

  • AMD Athlon X2 Dual core Processor 2.1 GHz 1024 MB L2 cache

  • 3GB DDR2 RAM

  • ATI Radeon + HD 3200 Graphics 256 MB, screen is 14 inch widescreen with resolution of 1280*800.


I installed Ubuntu 12.04 LTS 32bit on my laptop. It works brilliantly until I installed graphics driver. When I installed the driver, the graphics became slow. Everything slowed down. Even the splash screen resolution changed to something like 640*480.


I have liked Ubuntu since 9.10 and for the freedom it provides and its versatility, but graphics problem remains the same. I even installed Ubuntu on a 50 GB partition with 6 GB swap partition. My HDD is 320 GB. Please tell me what is wrong.
