Hi Bryan, I understand your use case. However, CCSM is not architected at all to handle system wide configuration changes- it's only per user.
I'm going to keep the UNITY_LOW_GFX_MODE env var in place. I think for your case, setting it in the upstart script or some other system wide config is the best bet. I would still like to add the option in CCSM for users to set low graphics mode regardless of hardware. I think this is an option that makes sense. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of DX Packages, which is subscribed to unity in Ubuntu.

This will make it easier to setup items like terminal services using Unity. This procedure has helped in at least one case for me, (a machine used by several users remotely using Unity). I can imagine it would also help in multiseat scenarios, etc. To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/unity/+bug/1412937/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~dx-packages Post to : dx-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~dx-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
