Public bug reported:

Using up to date Quantal alpha, on a laptop with graphics chipset "Mobile 
945GM/GMS, 943/940GML Express Integrated Graphics Controller", which runs Unity 
(3d) ok, when an external display is plugged in so that the virtual desktop 
exceeds 2048 pixels width the chipset is no longer able to support 3d.  In this 
situation a dialog pops up indicating that unity can not run and that unity-2d 
must be selected at the logon prompt.  This is innapropriate as unity-2d is no 
longer available.
The correct behaviour would be to automatically switch to using the mechanism 
to be used to allow Unity to run on 2d hardware.
