[Bug 1212821] Re: Unity fails to load on old hardware on Saucy

 

So that I understand, is the difference in unity-support-test between 11.04 and Saucy due to the fact that llvmpipe is (correctly) being used, so now GL1.4 /is/ supported (via s/w rendering)?
Also is it that glXGetConfig should actually return true, again because llvmpipe is in use?

Do we need to say Also Affects whatever package llvmpipe is in and hope
someone jumps in?

Title:
  Unity fails to load on old hardware on Saucy

Status in “unity” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  On logging in I see just the wallpaper with no top panel and no launcher.
  Note that this is not bug #1066764 (Unity fails to load on old hardware (compiz enabling LLVMpipe has no effect and Mesa tries to use hardware still)) as compiz is at 1:0.9.9~daily13.04.18.1~13.04-0ubuntu4 and the errors for that bug are not seen in .xsessionerrors.

  .xsessionerrors only contains
  Script for cjkv started at run_im.
  Script for default started at run_im.

  The graphics is an intel 865 chipset.

  Xorg.0.log attached
