I just recently install Ultimate Edition 3.2, 32 bit on my ASUS A43SJ ( with Intel Pentium B950 version ), i still can found a way to activate nVidia driver that said already in the Ultimate Edition 3.2 OS, i already try to redownload it via missing driver, but its show massage that there is no missing driver... :?

Did anyone here know to solve this, coz now everything looks big and flat on my laptop .... :(

Welcome Dick Steele :)

Make sure the Unity plugin is enabled via
Code: Select all
ccsm

so i just have to type ccsm (or sudo ccsm) in the terminal.... :)

Just be careful which environment you're in.
Your environment is chosen from the log in screen before you enter your password.
If you have chosen the 'Ubuntu' environment, that should be unity and ccsm will have it enabled by default.
If you are in another environment (Classic or Gnome shell) do not enable the unity plugin in ccsm - it will conflict.
It's all cutting edge stuff that can cause some issues if conlicting choices are made.
Please read TheeMahns notes about switching environments and how to minimise issues.
