Public bug reported:

Installed 11.10 on this Dell Vostro 3550.  Jockey offered to install the
proprietary FGLRX driver to give me 3d acceleration.  I installed fglrx,
restarted the system and tried, but still got 2d unity.  Regardless of
whether I selected Unity or Unity 2D in LightDM, I always get 2D Unity.

I then tried installing fglrx_updates from Jockey but that package fails
to install completely.
