Trying to get this bug report into some order, so was renaming the
attachments.  That particular one was replaced by a more recent
attachment, so I deleted it.  See the list of attachments on the bug
report - hope you agree it is somewhat easier to follow now.

Apologies for the confusion over the kernels - the ones I quoted were of
course the kernels on which xorg was built.

That said, you do have different kernels for each machine, which would
mean different kernel modules and potentially different behaviour.

Also the Xorg.0.log files show an interesting difference:

derek-Dual2: xorg-server 2:1.10.1-1ubuntu1.1
dad-dual2: xorg-server 
2:1.10.2.902+git20110708+server-1.10-branch.bc3c539e-0ubuntu0sarvatt~natty

The former is the same as my fresh installed system, the latter is
clearly very different.  Could we see current versions of xserver-xorg:

dpkg -l xserver-xorg

Just paste the results into your response, no need to add as an
attachment.

My suspicion is that this bug is invalid as currently logged - the two
systems are not the same - as evidenced by the different kernels.  I
suspect you should probably just be trying to get help on why dad-dual2
is not working through the usual channels.

Anyway, thank you for your considerable patience, I don't believe I'll
need any further information after the above.

Bug description:
  For some time now I have been running Ubuntu Karmic Koala with no
  problem.I was tempted to upgrade to Natty Narwhale so I installed it
  from DVD onto a spare partition on my 2nd disk) and it loaded ok and
  gave me a Unity desktop. However, when I upgraded Karmic to V11.04 via
  the web I was told that my hardware did not support Unity and gave me
  Gnome desktop. How come one version of Natty lets me run Unity where-
  as the upgraded version wont and both disks on the same pc?
