@jerrylamos, > Smells like a timing race to me, does compiz test for 3D before X is quite ready for the test?
As I stated in a previous comment, the reason why Compiz says it does not support the hardware is because there is an error in the graphics kernel driver, not because there is some race between X and Compiz. Compiz cannot start until X is up. As Stephen pointed out in comment #5 (https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/unity/+bug/1359299/comments/5), this is the error from the driver that is causing your issues. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1359299 Title: utopic 3.16.0-9 iso boots to desktop no unity Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Status in “unity” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Intel Core 2 Duo 3 gHz 4 gb Lenovo Think Centre.
