mikey,

The first problem is that compiz/unity thinks your hardware is too old
to support Unity. That sounds wrong, so it's possible your nvidia driver
is not installed properly. Try uninstalling and re-installing it.

The second problem is that fallback mode is not working. For Mesa
drivers that would be bug 1066764. However for proprietary drivers that
is un-fixable. If your hardware and driver doesn't support Unity then
please either find some combination that does work, OR uninstall all
proprietary graphics drivers so that the fallback to software mode can
work.

** Summary changed:

- Compiz crashes on load with NVidia 310.19 on Ubuntu 12.10
+ Compiz tries to fall back to software rendering with proprietary graphics drivers that don't support it.
