Title:
  opengl plugin reports Unity is software rendering although it "is
  fully supported" by hardware

Status in Compiz:
  Invalid
Status in compiz package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  When running unity --replace it reports that it enables software
  rendering because it is not supported by my hardware (Unity is not
  supported by your hardware. Enabling software rendering instead
  (slow).), but in the next line it displays "Unity is fully supported
  by your hardware."

  Running unity_support_test also shows full support, which leaves me
  quite confused. Graphics Card is an NVidia Quadro FX 360M (G86M) and
  the driver is nvidia-experimental-310.

  Unity runs somewhat slow, but I cannot tell whether it actually uses
  software or hardware rendering (maybe the perceived slowness is caused
  by something else). Below is the full output of the command:
