I installed ubuntu-netbook too, and I couldn't try Unity. I got a blank screen (just the background), nothing worked: no panels, no unity- launcher (I had to restart gdm from tty1). However, one time (and just one time) I could click on the upper-left side of the screen (where is supposed to be the main-menu button) and the "main menu" (I think it's name is 'dash') appeared. I read in the release notes of Maverick that Unity may not work on some ATI cards (I tried to Install Unity on Lucid, with 3d acceleration working, and I got the same blank screen), so I think that this is an Unity issue.
However, in the Ubuntu Desktop Edition 10.10 I still doesn't have usable 3d acceleration. Compiz is not working, glxgears shows nothing, and Stellarium (3d planetarium) starts but shows nothing. All of these work well on Lucid. -- Unusable 3d acceleration on Maverick (ATI Radeon X1200) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/665991 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xserver-xorg-video-ati in ubuntu. _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
