Joseph, on your comment #18,

yes, booting with prior kernel 3.16.0-6 works.  Like right now.  As has
all utopic kernels previous to 3.10.0-7.

Tried latest 3.17.0-031700rc2-generic on three different installs:

1. On a 3.16.0-9 install, compiz/unity fail as usual.  installed
3.17.0-031700rc2-generic which worked until I screwed up an update and
killed the install.  Flying fingers....

2. Fresh amd64 3.16.0-10 install, compiz & unity fail, then installed
3.17.0-031700rc2-generic.  Does not even complete boot.  Nada.  Recovery
mode didn't fix anything.  Of course in recovery with primitive screen
support it does come up.

3. On this 3.16.0-6 updated to 3.16.0-10, the 3.17.0-031700rc2-generic
fails to complete boot.  And as usual with -10 compiz and unity fail,
but 3.16.0-6 still works, 3D and all.  /boot has all three kernels so I
can try whichever.

With multiple boots, very rarely like twice in days, 3.10.0-10 compiz
and unity work.  Smells like a timing race to me, does compiz test for
3D before X is quite ready for the test?

Yes, I'm a retired computer engineer and have time to try various things
within my capability and interest.

Thanks for your attention.

Status in “unity” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Intel Core 2 Duo 3 gHz 4 gb Lenovo Think Centre.
  Boots 3.16.0-6 amd64 fine, runs compiz 3D fine.  

  Today's amd64 iso download, 20 August, boots to desktop & cursor.  
  No unity.
  Did ubuntu-bug from command line on the booted iso, saved report.

  Booted 3.10.0-6 and ran ubuntu-bug apport on the saved file.

  Planet Ubuntu asked for results on 3.16.0-9 so this is my result.
