Here`s my problem.I installed ubuntu 9.10 then i updated it 9.12.I`ve been trying to install the driver for my xfx radeon hd 4350 video card.I tried using the restricted driver option,rebooted the system the splash screen comes up.But the login screen stays black and keyboard doesn`t respond.I also tried installing the driver from ati useing the ubuntu doc and same thing.Is there a way to restore the orginal driver so i don`t have to keep reinstalling it.

Follow the instructions in the link below to remove the ATI drivers and replace them with the open source drivers. That will at least give you a working desktop:
