This is more a suggestion than an answer;
There is a known bug in Ubuntu 12.04 release (LTS) where your graphical driver is listed as "unknown" ( Visit system settings / Details / Graphics ).
I had the problem with my AMD Radeon graphic card on 12.04 and I couldn't get any proprietary drivers to work. Switching to Ubuntu 13.10 solved the problem.
I suggest you try clean installation with new Ubuntu (burn 13.10 ISO image on a DVD and reinstall).
