Public bug reported: My display server reverted to the Mesa GL SW fallback driver after an upgrade to Oneiric. Yet, when trying to open the regular Desktop session, the screen was still empty after 20s. Reverting to the unity-2d session, I tried starting unity --replace, and it told me: [...]
compiz (unityshell) - Error: GL_ARB_vertex_buffer_object not supported compiz (core) - Error: InitPlugin 'unityshell' failed compiz (core) - Error: Couldn't activate plugin 'unityshell' glcinfo showed that I was using the SW fallback driver. I was expecting the 3D session to automatically fallback to 2D in that case.
