How to boot without 'nomodeset'?

I installed Ubuntu 12.04 on my laptop, and am now trying to get it to run. In the grub menu, if I load it normally, all I get is a black screen. In order for it to boot successfully, I have to edit the menu item and add 'nomodeset'. With this, Ubuntu boots up.



Is there a fix for this, so that I don't have to constantly add the nomodeset? I tried to install the proprietary drivers but I still had the same problem.




My laptop specs are:



Intel Core i5-2410M (2.30GHz, Dual-Core)
6GB RAM
750GB HDD 7200rpm
AMD Radeon HD 6630 1GB
