I was running the nouveau driver before; it turns out unity does work with the nvidia driver! Mystery solved.
Unfortunately the nvidia driver doesn't seem to do brightness control — the screen's at full blast, which is considerable on this laptop. Not something I can work with under current lighting conditions. Back to KDE for now. :/ Would it make sense to file a bug against the nouveau driver? Oh, one strange thing I noticed: even though I had jockey-gtk installed, there was no jockey-gtk executable. I used jockey-kde instead. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1054845 Title: Unity not working on mid-2009 MacBook Pro To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/unity/+bug/1054845/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
