Sorry for the title but somehow everything got screwed after driver installation on 12.10.

Something broke the window manager.
I see you've got some terminals open. What happens if you run
andCode:compiz --replace
?Code:/usr/lib/nux/unity_support_test -p
Do you have the kernel headers to match your kernel version installed ?
If I recall, they may not be installed by default in 12.10.
PS. Thread title changed to reflect subject.
I didand it got back to normal, with nouveau drivers. Then I tried once more installing the 310 experimental driver and got a resolution of 640x480. Once again tried to purge nvidia and now I can't change my monitor resolution heheheCode:sudo apt-get remove --purge nvidia*
@MG&TL: Output said "OK" in green to everything.
@howefield: I have no idea what you're talking about
I will do a fresh install, can you give me tips so this situation doesn't happen again?
I just booted into 12.10 to get the same issue
Having updated to a newer kernel, without the appropriate headers but a simple matter of installing them sorted it.
Don't know if I have caught you before you reinstall or not,..
Once installed and fully updated open a terminal and type
to get the kernel version that you are using. In the attached screenshot you can see that I haveCode:uname -a
I use synaptic package manager so after loading it I'll search for 3.5.0-24 and install linux-headers-3.5.0-24-generic, then install the nvidia drivers and you should be good.Code:3.5.0-24-generic
This may well be the case every time you update the kernel, you'll need to update the appropriate headers.
I guess this is the current bug on, possibly 12.10 will EOL before anything resolved

Incorrect resolution and glx errors... this also happens when a user tries to install the nvidia driver on an Optimus laptop.
@OP: give output of:
Code:lspci | grep -i VGA
@howefield: Mine's 3.5.0-25, so can I just install the headers on Software Center?
@mac4man: Would that command install the appropriate headers for my current kernel?
@temujin: I have a fresh install of 12.10, what does that command do and how does it affect on a install with no proprietary drivers?
Yes, it said 13.1MB needed to be downloaded. I'll do it, and then install the driver. Do I need to reboot after these headers install?
