Bug description:
  I wanted to try the new Unity interface, so I downloaded the .iso file
  for Ubuntu 10.10, and created a bootable USB drive. But when I
  selected "Try Ubuntu Netbook" when I booted from the USB drive, I got
  a blank screen (the wallpaper and the mouse pointer). I was confused
  and after a few searchs, I found that 3D graphics acceleration are not
  enabled in my computer. But the Release Notes
  (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MaverickMeerkat/ReleaseNotes#Known%20Issues)
  it says that I should be warned about not having the required hardware
  configuration and log out and then log in to a standard ubuntu desktop
  session. I never saw that error message, and that is very confusing
  for a new user.

  Graphic card (lspci): VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc
  RS690M [Radeon X1200 Series], on a Dell Inspiron 1721. In Ubuntu 10.04
  I use the default drivers.
