Public bug reported: Unity3D has some visual glitches using an Intel GMA500 gfx card and Intel EMGD drivers. Unity interface (panel, launcher and dash) seems to use a wrong resolution and everything is badly scaled.
(Unity2D works well instead, doesn't have this issue) Attached a couple of screenshots, where are visible ugly scaled icons in launcher, bad fonts in the panel and indicators that when on-over get distorted. nux test says this gfx card can handle unity, also compiz standalone works well. It's a pity because it's quite fast when using unity-3D.
