No, you have installed propertiary drivers, those are not open source, that's why Ubuntu prompted you to confirm if you want to install them. You wouldn't need that in general, the open source drivers should be well enough for Dom3, you don't need to squeeze the extra 5-7% performance out for it.

That's a Dom3 bug which was introduced in the last version, so far only encountered on the Mac. It should be fixed when the next version is released, though it isn't clear when that will be. For the time being, you have to change resolutions through the command line.
