** Description changed:

  When I log into a desktop session in Ubuntu (both the Live CD and a
  fresh install), the top panel and launcher both seem to completely fail
  to load.
  
  When viewing console output via one of the virtual terminals, I can see
  that compiz is failing to load the OpenGL plugin.
  
  compiz (core) - Error: Plugin 'opengl' not loaded.
  
  Right-clicking on the wallpaper still brings up the right-click menu as
  expected, but performance is extremely slow.
  
  I am using an Intel i865 IGP (82865G), which supports the OpenGL 1.3
  standard. This appears to be where the bug lies.
  
  unity_support_test gives an incorrect report of the IGP, stating that it
- supports OpenGL 1.4. This was not the case with Ubuntu 13.04, the last
+ supports OpenGL 1.4. This was not the case with Ubuntu 12.04, the last
  release I tried on this computer.
  
  Booting into a 12.04 Live CD and running unity_support_test also yields
  the correct test result (GL version is 1.4+: no)
  
  Could potentially be an issue with the version of mesa included with
  13.10 Saucy.
  
- Ubuntu Version: 13.10 Saucy Salamander i386
+ Ubuntu Version: Ubuntu 13.04~13.10 i386
  What is expected to happen: Unity loads, unity_support_test returns "GL version is 1.4+: no"
  What happened instead: Unity does not load, compiz fails to load opengl plugin, unity_support_test returns "GL version is 1.4: yes"
  
  IGP/GPU: Intel Extreme Graphics 2 82865G (i865 chipset)

** Summary changed:

- Unity/compiz fails to load on Intel i865 IGP (OGL 1.3) in Saucy, mesa/unity_support_test is incorrect
+ Unity/compiz fails to load on Intel i865 IGP (OGL 1.3) in 13.04 and 13.10, mesa/unity_support_test is incorrect
