Unity 3d Not supported, Intel 945GM graphics card
Solution 1:
Make sure that xserver-xorg-video-intel is installed.
After that, you should be able to purge the ones you're not using, without uninstalling xorg. To see what video drivers you have installed, use something like:
dpkg -l | grep xorg-video
Solution 2:
I have also an Intel® 965GM graphics card and Unity 3D works perfectly wity my system. However, my system info was showing my graphics card as unknown in Ubuntu 11.10 when I freshly installed it, and after a while (a few days later I installed Ubuntu 11.10) my Unity 3D was broken. I could be able to select "Ubuntu" but it acted like I was using Unity 2D.
I found out that it is related to OpenGL and I applied this command:
1.Remove NVidia drivers
(I know you didn't install any NVidia drivers, I also didn't install but in my case there were NVidia drivers installed somehow.)
sudo apt-get purge nvidia*
2.Remove your xorg.conf
sudo rm /etc/X11/xorg.conf
3.Reinstall xorg completely
sudo apt-get install --reinstall xserver-xorg-core libgl1-mesa-glx:i386 libgl1-mesa-dri:i386 libgl1-mesa-glx:amd64 libgl1-mesa-dri:amd64
4.Re-configure Xorg
sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
5.Restart your computer
sudo reboot
After I applied all of these commands, my Unity 3D was back and when I check system info, this time Ubuntu recognized my Intel graphics. Such problems occur with Intel graphics.
Solution 3:
It might help to update the graphic drivers, those from the official repositories might be outdated. To update, just open a terminal console and enter
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-x-swat/x-updates
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
Afterwards, restart your machine. I hope this helps
Solution 4:
If you really want unity 3D to work. You can force it to run.
Be warned though, it will be a little buggy.
copy this in the terminal
sudo gedit /etc/environment
And then add this in the next line
UNITY_FORCE_START=1
Then save the file and reboot
