Usually even a pretty rough surface can be salvaged by applying a skim coat of joint compound to the surface. First, remove all loose edges of paper and paint etc. Next spot prime exposed paper with an oil based primer and let dry. Then take a 10" or 12" knife and using medium to heavy pressure fill all voids and the surrounding areas with joint compound leaving as little excess on the wall as possible. Let dry and sand flush with existing surface removing ridges. Repeat the last step feathering the joint compound so that once you sand there are no ridges. Finally, texture to match. Sometimes it is just as easy to skim the whole wall for a more conistent surface and you dont have to worry about matching texture. Remember that the heavier the texture, the less detailed your patching will need to be to hide signs of repair.
