As Didier pointed out earlier, this is an incompatibility between the
ATI drivers and the Mutter version of Unity. We don't have resources to
provide fixes for older versions of Unity at this point. Sorry.

Just installed UNE 10.10 Maverick on Acer Aspire 5100-3949 and saw this
bug. Same effect on screen.
Unity works correctly on this hardware after installing the xorg-edgers

I forgot to test Unity with the x-swat PPA.(more stable) PPA installed

Sorry, but this bug is NOT a duplicate of bug 685682.
I am not using proprietary ATI drivers, actually none is available for
my card. For that reason, I have removed the marking as duplicate.

Hi, we've been working hard to make the Ati support better in the latest
version of Unity. With the Natty Alpha 1 release coming this week, could
you please try that and see if Unity is still invisible on your system.
I'm marking as incomplete pending your test results, thanks.
** Changed in:
OK. Note that even though the problem is fixed in Natty (and I will test
it as soon as I get time) the problem will still be there in Maverick
... but since Maverick is a short-lived release maybe it isn't worth
fixing it there.

Thanks for your bug report and help to make ubuntu better.
It's more or less a duplicated with all the other ATI card issue (unity
maverick is known to work with few ATI card). Hopefully, the natty
rewrite using compiz instead of mutter will bring a wider support.
Can you please try Natty when
