Oh wait, I just discovered these lines in the UnitySupportTest.txt attachment:
Error: command ['/usr/lib/nux/unity_support_test', '-p', '-f'] failed with exit code 1: OpenGL vendor string: VMware, Inc. OpenGL renderer string: Gallium 0.4 on llvmpipe (LLVM 0x300) OpenGL version string: 2.1 Mesa 8.0.1 Not software rendered: [31;01mno[00m .... Unity 3D supported: [31;01mno[00m First line explains a lot. The command exited with an error because the last line says Unity 3D isn't supported. It's intended. Ignoring that part of the line, I find it really surprising that the vendor string is VMWare. Are you running Ubuntu in VBox/VMWare Player or something? Second, AFAIK gallium based drivers are known to have issues like these. Can someone from X-SWAT clarify? Third, "Not Software Rendered" says no. That means software rendering is being used. That said, I find it really really surprising how Compiz AND gnome-session allowed you to log into Unity 3D. GNOME-Session usually runs the unity-support-test utility, and if it returns an error (like it appears in your case), it tries to boot Unity 2D. That check step apparently didn't work in your case. Even after that, if Compiz ever fails to load the composite plugin or fails to start OpenGL, it falls back to Unity 2D. For some reason, both these measures didn't avoid you from booting into Unity 3D. I have these questions from you: 1) Are you running Ubuntu in a VM? 2) Did Unity 3D run fine with fglrx? 3) Try rebooting. Do you get a fallback Unity 2D session? If not, does running unity --reset help? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to the bug report. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/956208 Title: Screen corruption on AMD with Radeon driver To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/unity/+bug/956208/+subscriptions _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
