Intel GMA 950 missing driver for an EEE PC 1008HA
This is a similar situation to what I had with my Intel® 965GM. My system info was also showing my graphics card as unknown in Ubuntu 11.10, 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.
