    nForce 630a [7050] solution?

    Yesterday I install 64bit 12.04.2 on AMD system with 22" 1920x1080 AOC display.
    I have no grub (wrong input on screen) i blindy use cursor and enter. After installing i add new nvidia driver and i got slow motion kde and non responsive system (yeah i know i have to disable effects and will be better, but system doesn't allow me; even with keyboard shortcut).
    Did I choose wrong driver? There was choice of older one?
    I use cheap Nvidia GF210 to bring system back fast.
    What was solution for only internal VGA?

    Your report sounds like my experience installing 12.04.1. My lshw says
    Code:
     *-display
              description: VGA compatible controller
              product: C61 [GeForce 7025 / nForce 630a]
    When you boot the installer, there's an options function key where you can choose "nomodeset" (or at least there was in 12.04.1). That avoided the grub "analog input out of range" (what I think you mean by "wrong input on screen") problem for me, at the cost of a clunky looking splash, which I don't want anyway.
    Secondly, if you get the graphical login prompt, there's a little down arrow where you can select something like "Kubuntu failsafe", which starts with desktop effects disabled, but a functional kubuntu. Then you can go to desktop effects and turn off the blur effect, and maybe the nepomuk file indexer under "desktop search". With Blur turned off I could then reenable desktop effects (and I use some of them all the time), though I think I had to use jockey to activate the nvidia driver.
    I'm on 12.10 now and I've been told the Blur effect has been fixed, but a few months ago I reenabled it and nepomuk with dire results, so it's staying off for now.

      i have habbit to choose auto login for single users
      i leave a vga inside. it is faster esp. in win7 (older games)
      it is new age, wrong driver or settings and linux is non responsive
      it should be nice to add graphic safe mode in recovery option in grub!
