At the login screen of my Ubuntu box, I select Ubuntu under the cog menu, but it loads the 2D version instead of the 3D version.

I'm running:

  • Asus P5Q Pro
  • Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 @ 2.40GHz x4
  • GeForce 9600GT (1024MB)
  • 32-bit OS
  • 4x 1GB DDR2 RAM Modules (although BIOS only shows I'm using ~3GB)

Is this setup not capable of running Unity 3D? I understand that it won't install it if it's not supported!

unity_support_test output:

penGL vendor string:   NVIDIA Corporation
OpenGL renderer string: GeForce 9600 GT/PCI/SSE2
OpenGL version string:  3.3.0 NVIDIA 290.10

Not software rendered:    yes
Not blacklisted:          yes
GLX fbconfig:             yes
GLX texture from pixmap:  yes
GL npot or rect textures: yes
GL vertex program:        yes
GL fragment program:      yes
GL vertex buffer object:  yes
GL framebuffer object:    yes
GL version is 1.4+:       yes

Unity 3D supported:       yes

glxinfo output after driver reinstall:

direct rendering: Yes
    GL_NV_path_rendering, GL_NV_pixel_data_range, GL_NV_point_sprite, 

direct rendering: Yes
    GL_NV_path_rendering, GL_NV_pixel_data_range, GL_NV_point_sprite,

Answer from a comment to the question:

Usually the problems occur when openGL support does not work. Please check the output of glxinfo | grep rendering - there should appear direct rendering: yes - further you can test opengl-support with glxgears. Then you should see rotating gears. If one of this does not wort, reinstall your graphics driver. I suggest to install the proprietary Nvidia driver as I described here in this question
