I have the same problem, also on a relatively new thinkpad, in my case the X1 carbon.
I know this is reported as a duplicate of #1302264 but the problems encountered here seem distinct from those reported for that bug

Title:
  [regression] Unity now only starts in software rendering mode (i965
  Mesa driver can't load)

Status in Compiz:
  New
Status in Unity:
  New
Status in “unity” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  After updating today Unity only starts in software rendering mode. I can tell because:
    1. There's no dash blur.
    2. Graphics performance is slow.
    3. .xsession-errors says:
         libGL error: failed to open drm device: Permission denied
         libGL error: failed to load driver: i965
    4. compiz is linked to the software driver:

  $ pmap `pidof compiz` | grep dri
