Hi Leonard,

I have exactly the same symptoms as you, while trying to log on to
unity8-preview.

unity-system-compositor.log

ERROR:
/build/buildd/mir-0.1.8+14.04.20140411/src/platform/graphics/mesa/cursor.cpp(66):
Throw in function
mir::graphics::mesa::Cursor::GBMBOWrapper::GBMBOWrapper(gbm_device*)
Dynamic exception type:

std::exception::what: failed to create gbm buffer

lspci -v | grep "VGA compatible"
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. [AMD/ATI]
RV635/M86 [Mobility Radeon HD 3650] (prog-if 00 [VGA controller])

Kind regards

/sebastian
