I installed Ubuntu on my HP ProBook 4740s. When I tried to install new graphic card drivers, Unity doesn't start, or worse, I get the low graphic mode(and the screen freezes). I have tried installing the drivers directly from the manufacturer and changing the drivers in the Additional Hardware Driver menu from the default setting.
I would rather install them directly from the manufacturer.
Perhaps this is helpful:
