Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: xserver-xorg-video-ati

I don't know whether this should be filed under the (more specific)
xserver-xorg-video-radeon.  Change if need be.

I just upgraded to Natty from Maverick.  
When Unity attempts to start, it fails with the following output:
[...]
compiz (opengl) - Fatal: GLX_EXT_texture_from_pixmap is missing
compiz (opengl) - Fatal: Software rendering detected
[...]

GLX_EXT_texture_from_pixmap is indeed missing from "GLX extensions", but
is present in both the "client glx extensions" and the "server glx
extensions".

Also of note is that Radeon claims that direct rendering is enabled in
Xorg.0.log, but AIGLX fails to initialize.

excerpts from Xorg.0.log  ---------------------
[...]
[   304.505] (II) RADEON(0): Direct rendering enabled

 cards.
