    How to stop kdm?

    Hi all,
    I installed Quantal on a kind of old HP laptop with an NVidia Geforce Go 7150M graphics adapter, and it won't display properly in the screen's native resolution (1280x800). To fix this, I'm trying to install nvidia's proprietary driver. In the past, I would stop kdm by typing sudo service kdm stop. As I understand it, Quantal has moved the launching of kdm to Upstart, and I should instead type sudo stop kdm. When I do this, I get the following message:

    stop: Unknown job: kdm

    Does anyone know what command I use to stop kdm in Quantal?

    Thanks very much!

    Kubuntu uses lightdm in 12.10 so substitute that in place of kdm
