Public bug reported:
Unity shell fails to start when using FGLRX driver on Ubuntu Oneiric.
The compiz runs, and seems to work okay, but neither the unity panel nor
launcher shows up (it runs unity2d instaed). When trying to run 'unity
-replace', the error message is:
compiz (unityshell) - Error: GL_ARB_vertex_buffer_object not supported
compiz (core) - Error: InitPlugin 'unityshell' failed
compiz (core) - Error: Couldn't activate plugin 'unityshell'
