Having a few problems after mint 12 install

[mattmers]

-I can't get the graphics card drivers to install.
-The screen keeps going pixely for a second or to. It just shows a pattern green and grey.
-quite a few of the smaller text boxes are becoming "tilted." Everything in the box outline is tilted.
-package problems (the package manager says there are 3 broken packages)

Any help is appreciated, thx
